It was not good to learn of this today.

This guy is one of my favorite authors, may he rest in peace.

He was keeping his cancer hidden from the public.

"No lunch with Michael lasted less than three hours and no subject was too prosaic or obscure to attract his interest..."

I was shocked to hear this too. I had been looking forward to many more of his books. A wonderful storyteller, and an interesting person.

I though of him right before his passing when I saw this on the news: http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/science/11/04/japan.mouse.clone/index.html

I really enjoyed his book Sphere, I guess I better read Timeline seems I have missed out on a great read.

One of the best writer I have read.

When I saw it on news I went to my cupboard and took his book out. Just to see that book and remember how nice he used to write. Sphere, State of Fear, Timeline I really loved his work.
