Title: Stanislaw Lem passed off...
Post by: Boroda on March 28, 2006, 08:59:21 AM

Probably the greatest sci-fi writer ever, and one of the greatest minds in human history.

The loss is too big to understand it now.

Rest in peace, pan Stanislaw!...

MT is right, I "passed off" gas early this morning after breakfast.  My Grandfather "passed away" after a stroke.

The details are a bit hazy now, but I clearly recall reading Lem's work when I was younger.  I always included him in my list of sci-fi greats.  Still good, thought-provoking stuff.

That's really bad news.

One of my most precious books is "star diaries" which I got for 1 pound in an old london book shop 9 years go. Best deal I ever made. I still read it from time to time and laugh out loud.
