William Sleator, whose book "The Green Futures of Tycho" is the first I ever remember identifying as my favorite (in 4th Grade) died last week.

Even Orson Scott Card has gone on record as being a fan, so I guess this is a good place for the topic.

I've read most of his books, and occasionally re-read them to this day. I'm sad to hear that there will be no more. I guess this is a good day to read "Singularity" or "Interstellar Pig."

I haven't read "Interstellar Pig" since I was in junior high, but I think of it every time I read OSC's "Feed The Baby of Love".

I loved "Interstellar Pig", though I think I read it when I was a bit beyond it, in terms of my reading level.

A great summer reading book.
