Link Love

John Christopher has passed away. The first science fiction book I ever read was The White Mountains and I have such fond memories of it.  I had never read anything like it before.  It was imaginative in an exciting new way and influenced the type of reader I became.  Below, a link to Christopher Priest's obit for John Christopher.  Check it out.
(And then check out Superheroines in Comfy Pants...  oh, and 25 Reasons That Writers Are Bug-Fuck Nuts... hhmn, ya'know what? better just read them all.)
