    Heard about this on the radio as I woke up. Sucks; I really enjoyed most of his work and I felt sure he'd live forever. Didn't realise he was that old.

    BAH! He was an awesome SciFi writer. "Childhood's End" was one of my favorites. The world needs more great thinkers like him, and he'll be missed.

    Man that sucks I loved the Space Odyssey series.

    He was so far ahead of his time that it wasn't funny. Damn...

    He was a great author, it always sucks to see a legacy end.

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    Not only his novels, but worth reading for the short stories as well, if you can find them.

    (To be honest, some authors are even better in the short form.)
