Novelist Kurt Vonnegut dies at 84

Kurt Vonnegut made this ridiculous life bearable

I was fortunate enough to attend a lecture of his in Wichita during the 1980's. In addition to being hilarious at times, his thought process was brilliant. And it was refreshing to hear a voice in support of independent thinking during the Reagan era.

He was an original, and he encouraged all who would listen to be original as well. He endured much hardship and very nearly did not survive the darkest times, but I found him inspiring.

I shall remember him fondly.
