Kurt Vonnegut died yesterday. Obituaries and tributes are legion, but I want to point out this brief passage from an unnamed writer at Shelf Awareness, a bookseller industry newsletter:
"In our house, Vonnegut remains a legend for once inspiring our engineer brother, who has rarely read fiction unless it was assigned to him by a teacher, to engage in an unusual spurt of reading simply for the fun of it."
What more can you say of an author than that he makes you want to read?
