Sadness? Only for us, who will miss him. Not for him. He's gone out exactly the way he wanted to, and how can that be a sad thing?

The Man Who Would Not Die will inspire us for years to come.

Oh man... Just when we need him most.

I have his While Reagan Slept which is a deft skewering of the 80s.

I think I've read most of his books, I remember enjoying each one.
