oh, i'm sad.
what a fantastic writer he was. i started reading his books when i was about 10 years old, a lot of it was totally over my head, but he made a huge impression on me. of course i reread and reread everything again over the years, and that initial impression wasn't lost.
after rereading his books as a teen and adult i was rather shocked that my mom had encouraged me to start reading them so young.
breakfast of champions is how i learned what beaver was. i was 10.
hehehe.

| Who knows I grudgingly absorbed his famed rather lame flashback WW2 book and I think his point was men are fools and the flames had no meaning or worth however he is now perhaps - only he and perhaps Other(s) know - understanding the whole burning question better ... unless he did believe somehow he would be made to live in a zoo and have a 'movie' star for his mate.... mmmm Walt Disney believed in freezing his body so maybe with creative minds they might actually think the false is real and that the ultimate reality is false... seems like in the end he was a clever looser sad too when a mind gets to skeptical... I myself suppose it is as it must be since it is the best of all possible worlds and fated thus.. |

On skepticism: better disillusioned than deluded. Unless you're like six years old. |

| He lived a long life and wrote some great (and also mediocre) stuff. I'm not sad. I wish his released soul well in the cosmos. |

The King is dead. Long live Kilgore Trout!
When I was at university, I had the great pleasure of hearing him speak. He is a unique genius the kind the world was better to have had and worse to be without. They don't make people like that anymore -- a genuine, genuine humanitarian. |
