Count me as one of his many fans.  I may not have read everything he wrote, but I read at least half of his novels, maybe more.

My favorite quote, which appears at the beginning of one of his books goes something like this:

Every day our planet hurtles 300,000 miles closer to Globular Cluster M113 in the constellation of Hercules.  And still some folks say there is no such thing as progress.

Dang.  I don't know that I've read everything, but pretty darn close for sure.  RIP.  

And so on.

I knew I had it wrong... but that's what i meant.  :oops:

I've only read "Breakfast of Champions" from him -- I never went further b/c that was honestly the most depressing book I'd ever read in my life.  If any of you can point me in a less nihilistic direction for him, I'll follow.

RIP, in any case.

"Slaughterhouse-Five", "Player Piano".
