And another one passes on....

For those who don't know, Philip Jose Farmer, author of... well, too many books to mention, many of them good, died in his sleep last night. I'm not quite sure where you count a generation of sci-fi authors as separating from the next one, but I think there can't be many of his generation left, now; he and Arthur C Clarke were the last two I knew for certain were still alive, and they're both gone....
