Have you heard his last address? He recorded it in December I think. It's worth finding on Youtube. He will be missed.

I was not a huge fan of his work, though I liked it and read a good bit of it. But he really seemed to be one of the "good guys" in literature. Kind, helpful, smart. The net is buzzing with people he helped out. Sad to see him go.

So I guess we'll never know what the monolith really was? Talk about a super cool headstone though...not meant in bad taste. It's more like Fanboy admiration.
