Another living legend bites the dust. Great, great author. I read tons of his books. One of my personal favorites.

That sucks, though at least he made it to the ripe old age of ninety.

Haven't read any of his stuff in a while, but I went through a phase in high school where I just tore through a bunch of his stuff.  Maybe I'll re-read Rendezvous with Rama in his honor.
