Kurt Vonnegut passes away at 84.
This may be the first time a famous person’s death has made me sad. Reading “Slaughterhouse-Five” in college wasn’t just about “getting” the message of the novel, it also showed me the power of writing and how it can affect an individual. While Vonnegut may not be around anymore, his books will always be read.
Eric Lim smells like noodles; enjoys driving in traffic in the Los Angeles area; is scared of girls; tries to make people feel bad; is allergic to hot wings; is (almost) undefeated Go Fish Champion; is the destroyer of toasters; is a self-qualified CSS Ninja; wants to learn to ride a unicycle just so he can call himself "GizmoDuck"; and is an aspiring writer who doesn't write.
He is eagerly awaiting the revolution.

As another great American novelist/writer passes, so does a bit of our intellectual curiosity.
