Vonnegut, who often marveled that he had lived so long despite his lifelong smoking habit, had suffered brain injuries after a fall at his Manhattan home weeks ago, said his wife, photographer Jill Krementz.

Kurt Vonnegut has been one of my favorite writers for a very long time. My best friend Katie gave me the copy of "Breakfast of Champions" that I still have. It's very sad to know that he has passed on.
