This is what Kurt Vonnegut was like. Before being a highly acclaimed author, he got a job at Sports Illustrated and was asked to cover a horse racing story. On his typewriter he wrote "The horse jumped over the fucking fence" and then quit.

Go grab "Slaughterhouse-Five"!
Will do, thanks for the recommendation!

Alright, well I think I've found a fun author to add to my list of authors/books to read!

Well, two gifs...I guess I really stepped in it there didn't I? :p

I honestly had never heard the name. But, there's a time to learn everything :) I do wish I knew more at 27 years of age than I do, but I'm grateful that I have a thirst to learn that never seems to stop. Thanks for emphasizing how important it is that I know of this author and his work :wink:

Those two gifs being slightly different speeds/durations, are quite mesmerizing to stare at. They sync up occasionally, and it's about as satisfying as the DVD logo landing right in the corner of the screen :wink:
