In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice. Kurt Vonnegut was the only one to respond. His reply was a doozy.

My favorite author.

I love this so much. He's one of my favorite authors. I've read all of his books.

I don't know how it is that I've never seen this before. It's awfully good. I might do his poem assignment right now.
