Kurt Vonnegut -- I'll miss him

So, I'm reading my feeds this morning and find that one of my beloved authors, Kurt Vonnegut, passed away.

I immediately checked our holdings and have compiled a list of his works we do not own for purchase.

I also found this site which, although a few years old (last updated 2005), provides a wealth of information about Vonnegut and a sub page of the site which denotes critical essays and works about his work.

I have fond memories of working in Seattle and riding the bus to and from work in the summer reading Vonnegut novels to pass the time. This was back in the days when the bus stopped on 4th right in front of the old Seattle Public Downtown branch.

Way to go, Liesl! What a fantastic way to define your presence on Wikipedia on your own terms.

Now, how about adding pictures of the library, a map, and other stuff?
