This is an old story that I read a long time ago it kind of stuck in my head when I was kid...for some reason I've been thinking about it a lot lately.

I think that I read it in Mr. Willis' class. It took me a while to track it down. It's been in my brain for a while.

that was freakin cool... I've always been a fan of Kurt Vonnegut: Slaughter house 5, galapagos, time quake, ect. But I didn't realize his son was such a good author.
Thanks.

[repentantshadow]

neither did I, I'm probably going to track down some more of his work to see if it's worthwhile.

I was under the impression that the Vonnegut we all know and love is actually known by the full title Kurt Vonnegut Jr. Wikipedia seems to back me up on this.

I <3 Billy Pilgrim.

you're right

I remembered from reading 'Palm Sunday' (Kurt Vonnegut's quasi-autobiography), that he had a son who was also a writer. But it turns out his name is Mark Vonnegut... anyone read his book: Eden Express? I haven't, but I'd like to some time.
thanks for the wikipedia article.
