“It’s a really nice fantasy – one I prefer to most other afterlife fantasies”

I’d sure rather be on Riverworld than in dirt for earthworms, or burned up, but I expect the latter.

Very digressively, I want to say that I saw Synecdoche, NY today, and while I suspect the same folks who hated and didn’t get “the New Wave” may hate it, I thought it was effing brilliant and wonderful, and that it’s not all that complicated to get (it’s the thoughts of a dying guy, for pete’s sake, in a nutshell!).

“One of my favorite Farmer stories was “The Sliced-Crosswise Only-On-Tuesday World”. It was my first PJF story and still brings back fond memories.”

My comment adds little, but I have to say that that was a truly great and memorable story.

One of my favorite Farmer stories was “The Sliced-Crosswise Only-On-Tuesday World”. It was my first PJF story and still brings back fond memories.
The last time I read PJF was a couple of months ago when one of my sons wanted to read a Doc Savage novel and we read some of Doc Savage: His Apocalyptic Life.
The world gets a little sadder with the passing of each of these writers.
