One of my favourite books. I was sad to hear of his passing :(

I loved that book! So wonderful and so sad. And I remember the movie, though it's terribly dated now. Still, it was good for its time and the book is timeless.

Yes! I read it at a very crucial stage in my SF development, and it's always stayed with me in a powerful way. I was sad to read of this, too.

So wonderful and so sad.

Yes! Both the book and the film have haunted me for years. I love when a story has staying power like that. It really made an impact on me.
