One of the sci-fi pioneers, Philip Jose Farmer, passed away yesterday at the age of 91.
I re-read "To Your Scattered Bodies Go" just a few months ago. It's the first book in his ground breaking Riverworld saga. The concept is that everyone who has ever lived on Earth is resurrected on this unknown world, next to a large river. If you haven't read this, it's well worth your time. Thought provoking, great characters, and an incredible premise. I'm in my den looking at my "to be read" pile and his second book "The Fabulous Riverboat" is there. It just might be time to pick that one up.
Here's a link to his official website. http://www.pjfarmer.com/
