...you all didn't really need to refrain from mentioning the passing of Philip Jose Farmer just because he died on my birthday.

I like Farmer. I won't say that he was the best writer ever or anything, but he wove a good story. I'm probably one of few that actually enjoyed the World of Tiers series better than the Riverworld set (well, at least the first few books of each...he, like so many authors, tended to let a series go on past the point where it made good sense to and past his ability to bring it together).

Anyway, RIP PJF.

Well, it was brought up in the book forum.

I never read any of his books though. I used to read a lot, but stopped around the time I graduated from high school.

Pay close attention. This is how a real man expresses grief.

Well if you are like me, there would have been lots of email in your box and twitter messages morning his passing. So many, that if you take the to read them all you didn't have time to post about it.

BTW Belated Happy Birthday, Nexa.Smiley: flowers
