Darn.
The Official Philip José Farmer Home Page is reporting that Philip José Farmer passed away today at age 91. He's probably best known for the Riverworld and World of Tiers series. He wrote some pretty weird stuff, but I liked a lot of it, World of Tiers particularly. Also, if you ever see a book called The Other Log of Phileas Fogg, pick it up! It is good. It'll probably be battered and old; Farmer has been around a while, and a lot of the remaining copies are very obviously from a different age of science-fiction.
Fare thee well. It's not much consolation to his friends and family, I'm sure, but 91 is a very good age, and he did much. He was truly Brobdingnagian. He liked that word, and so do I.

I'd like to mention that Farmer also wrote a wonderful book called "Venus on the Half Shell" under the pen name of Kilgore Trout; a name that Vonnegut fans should recognize.
I also loved The Other Log of Phileas Fogg
