Did any one of you peeps notice that Robert Sheckley passed away? It was a week or two ago, I meant to start a thread but didn't get around to it. One of my favorite sci-fi writers- definitely one of the funniest, if not the funniest.

Bump. This thread is getting about as much action as my Pierre Michelot RIP thread did on ILM. Looks like Sheckley went about a month ago.

Sure did, but I didn't think that anyone else around here would care.

I think it's down to you and me and maybe Skidmore and Ned.

Hm. I think the last time almost nobody posted to an RIP thread of mine (as mentioned above) the one poster was an associate of yours, Elvis T.

By which I mean Orbit.

Oh, that's a pity. The Running Man was so ripped off the far superior The Prize Of Peril (though the film of TPOP was a bit rubbish).

I have little to no idea who Sheckley is, other than knowing he's SF related, but I do know that he's quoted in the sleevenotes to Amanda Lear's Incognito album, and for that the man has my respect.
