Uhm, yeah, ever since I read Slaughterhouse Five, Breakfast of Champions and Hocus Pocus... Vonnegut might be gone but his books live on.

No. One highly overrated Communist curmudgeon. His arguments against the theory of evolution were quite entertaining.

I only ever read one story by him. It was the short story "Harrison Bergeron" and I remember we read it in English class back in junior high school. I remembered the story but not the author, but I described it on the Internet and someone told me the title and author.

I really liked it, it was such a clever story even though it was so short. I'm not sure if they would allow school kids to read it today, because it seems to be critical of the forced equality promoted by the political left.

I read that one in HS too. It was an interesting little story... I'd recommend any of his other books. I like Cat's Cradle alot.
