Subject: BS: RIP Jack Vance From: GUEST,Shimrod Date: 31 May 13 - 03:01 PM I've just learned that my favourite author of all time, the SF/Fantasy writer, Jack Vance, has died age 96. You can read about him here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2013/may/30/jack-vance-dies-96-science-fiction If you've never read him, or never even heard of him, what have you been doing with your life? Go out and read his stuff right now! Boy, have you got a treat in store! |

Subject: RE: BS: RIP Jack Vance From: sciencegeek Date: 31 May 13 - 03:35 PM RIP... I'll never forget reading The Languages of Pao as a kid. His were books I'd be sure to buy if I found them... even if it meant giving up something else. Always a good read and thought provoking... the best of both worlds. |
