In memoriam: Stanislaw Lem

[winter]

Stanislaw Lem passed on today.

If you don't know who he is, get to a library already. The Star Diaries are genius, and then it gets better.

Just saw that ;_;

I still haven't read anything by him (meant to for a while)

Is it me or great SF authors keep dying one after the others lately ?

Oh. Sad to hear. His was the first "serious" science fiction I read. :s

What? Damn. The world is lessened by his passing.
