I'll also leave you with a favorite Vonnegut quote. This is from Mother Night.
"Where's evil? It's that large part of ever man that wants to hate without limit, that wants to hate with God on its side. It's that part of ever man that finds all kinds of ugliness so attractive. It's that part of an imbecile...that punishes and viligies and makes war gladly."

I know me too!!! Kurt Vonnegut has been my very favorite author since the first time I picked up any of his books. I have YET to read any other author that makes me enjoy reading every word of the book.
The first one I read was Slaughterhoue Five. Man that was great book. Now I wanna read it again.
Death has put me in the mood.

And by the way I love the drawing. Its very similar to the one in the book. I was just flipping through trying to remember what the tombstone said. Its in the last half of slaughterhouse five. There is a pencil drawn tombstone on the left hand page the size of the whole page and on the right he is telling the story of the night a german firing squad executed his friend Edgar derby.
And in big letters the tombstone reads:
EVERYTHING WAS BEAUTIFUL AND NOTHING HURT
Cheers to america's greatest satirist. I am also sorry you are dead.
