So I hear that Brian Aldiss died early on Saturday, a sad day for me. He was one of my favourites of the old-time sci-fi authors. I still own every book that I ever bought, and there are many Aldiss books in that collection.
In fact, of the few books I actually have with me right now in the Czech Republic, 3 of them are Aldiss's Helliconia trilogy, a set of books I have already read some 4 or 5 times now.
