NEW YORK - Kurt Vonnegut, the satirical novelist who captured the absurdity of war and questioned the advances of science in darkly humorous works such as "Slaughterhouse-Five" and "Cat's Cradle," died Wednesday. He was 84.

No way! He was such a great author. I liked the few books of his that I read.

So it goes :S

Very sad. He was one of my top two favorite writers. Although 84 years is very good. So it goes, indeed.

I'd never even heard of him till now

Sad, how death is sometimes the only way you hear of people...

Anyway, RIP. 84 was a darn good age ^^

I agree, I think I'll go take a look at some of his books now...

Aw, that's sad. I've been meaning to read Slaughterhouse Five since last year, but never was able to get the book, much less read it.

But still, he lived to an old age, which is usually good.

So it goes.

I enjoyed "Slaughterhouse Five" when I read it, and I might read a couple of his others.

Awww I loved his books. He was so cute.

Well I'm glad someone else said that.
