Bokonon wrote these final words. If I were a younger man, I would write a history of human stupidity; and I would climb to the top of Mount McCabe and lie down on my back with my history for a pillow; and I would take from the ground some of the blue-white poison that makes statues of men; and I would make a statue of myself, lying on my back, grinning horribly, and thumbing my nose at You Know Who.

I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

Poor baby

I read it. But I already knew.

Yep. One of my HS friends posted about it early this AM in her blog. She is probably the most well-read person I know...her dad was our HS English teacher (PhD...teaching HS. Dude was brilliant and a very good teacher, too). She's pretty sad today. I haven't read enough Vonnegut to feel as saddened as I probably should. k
