He went to the same school as me...well, actually, maybe I went to the same school as him as it was about 40 years later.

Just read this in his obit on the BBC News site
Quote:
Marking his 90th birthday last year, he told fans: "I want to be remembered most as a writer. I want to entertain readers and hopefully stretch their imaginations as well.
"If I have given you delight in all that I have done, let me lie quiet in that night, which shall be yours anon."

Wonder if they'll play the Blue Danube at his funeral... fitting music methinks. He was a great visionary.

That's the suck, although he leaves a great library of creative works. RIP
