Kurt Vonnegut

I confess that before reading Bernie’s blog this morning, I had never heard of Kurt Vonnegut, recently deceased. However, upon reading some of the quotes provided, I wish I had and will most likely rectify the situation as soon as I can track down his material. While I cannot yet claim any impact of his works on me, one quote that Bernie used will probably stay with me forever:

“Here is a lesson in creative writing. First rule: Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you’ve been to college.”

    I wish I had my Vonnegut books with me as I’d give them to you to read. If nothing else, read Slaughterhouse 5. The rest are brilliant too.

    Required reading for… well… everyone ๐Ÿ™‚

    Thanks for the recommendation Paul. I’ll be sure to put it to the top of my search in the book stores. The title is intriguing – I eagerly await to discover what lies beneath
