Chubby, brunette Eunice Kinnison sat in a rocker, reading the Sunday papers and listening to the radio. Her husband Ralph lay sprawled upon the davenport, smoking a cigarette and reading the current issue of EXTRAORDINARY STORIES against an unheard background of music. Mentally, he was far from Tellus, flitting in his super-dreadnaught through parsec after parsec of vacuous space. E.E. "Doc" Smith, Triplanetary, Chapter 5: "1941"

Philip Jose Farmer
SF Signal is reporting that Philip Jose Farmer has passed away. Some books and stories that I remember: Riders of the Purple Wage, Sail On! Sail On!, The Green Odyssey, The Other Log of Phileas Fogg (what a great cover by Vincent di Fate!) and Flesh.
(Sample chapters from the omnibus Strange Relations can be found here.)
