I am an avid reader and he is by a very far margin my favourite author. I absolutely loved how he could tell a very interesting and mind blowing story and at the same time make a social or political commentary without actually pointing anything out. If you've never read his books or want to read one of his really great ones, try "Cat's Cradle" I think I need a breakfast of champions now...at 10am I am so sad about this.
