I'd heard the news of Ellison's passing, but hadn't checked this chat line in a while. Years ago, I read and was impressed with his "Dangerous Visions". It had gone out of print, but I checked on Amazon, and it is now once again available. Yay! Think I'll give it a reread. He did a lot of writing for TV, notably, "The Twilight Zone" and "The Outer Limits." I'll miss his presence AND his writing. Rest in Peace, Mr. Ellison!

I was fortunate to meet Mr. Ellison a couple times at public lectures. He was funny, a bit profane and VERY interesting to listen to. All of his work, both fiction and non, is worth reading. My favorite book by him is Strange Wine, a collection of short stories, I believe published in the late 1970's. Rest in peace, Harlan.
