  &quot;I learned that science fiction was a junk drawer, and that my work belonged in it.&quot; -Kurt Vonnegut

  An oddly aggressive interview technique (more suited to attempting to pin down a politician I thought) but completely disarmed by Vonnegut with his calm, reasoned responses and superior intelligence. I particularly liked the light, quiet responses to the fact that the interviewer missed a few points because he wasn’t paying full attention to the answers. “ A good point, there.” “Yes well I’ve tried to make several” &nbsp;different class.

  Vonnegut was one of the first “real” authors I ever read. I was a huge comic book fan and he was a great writer to help me transition to the “big time.” Little did I realize how his little Sci-fi books would be some of the best books I ever read. My eighth grade teacher, Mr. Ellis, is gone now but I will always remember the great gift he bestowed upon me for introducing Mr. Vonnegut to me.

  I&apos;d forgotten how much Charlie Rose hated letting anyone finish a sentence.
