Thanks for sharing this, Tracer.

I have a big pile of Samuel R Delany books in my bedroom and whenever I see them I think about Martin, and also about H@zel's very touching speech at Martin's memorial service, when she talked about him reading a worn down-copy of Dhalgren for the very final time. Books live on after us - but we live on through them too.

five years pass...

This page appears to be gone :/ Anybody know how we can get it back?

His birthday today and I'm thinking of him.

And amid all this remembering I have just noticed: A new post on the site Martin started in 2010!

Feel like if anyone was the über-ILX0r it was he.
