Yeah, not a good 24hrs for authors. Awful and upsetting Sad

I'm sadly reminded of a James Blish's short story (can't remember it's name) where he formulated a pattern on people representing respective occupations dying "in series".

I still have Foucault's Pendulum unread on my bedside table. It'll be a different thing to start it now.

I was about to start reading Baudolino.
