What a great loss - River World, Tiers World, his wildly enjoyable porno novels, so, so much. Years back, fantasy novelist Stan Nicholls spent several days in London with Farmer and told me what an absolutely nice guy he was - but I already knew that from his writing. Bet he's already building that Riverboat and swapping yarns with Sam Clemens and Sir Richar Burton - two writers(among many, I might add) I first read thanks to Farmer's influence.
