Philip José Farmer, RIP

Philip José Farmer died this morning.  He was the author of the Riverworld series, probably one of my favorite of the sprawling SF series sub-genre.  I liked it so much, it caused me to read 2 different biographies of Richard Francis Burton, who is central to the series.  Good bye, Mr. Farmer.
