Just read on CNN that Norman Mailer passed away this morning. I just started re-reading "The Naked and the Dead" after finishing "The Executioner's Song". Vonnegut earlier this year, and now Mailer, tough year for literature. RIP

Lean over on the bookcase
If you really want to get straight
Read Norman Mailer
Or get a new tailor
Are you ready to be heartbroken?
