The first real sci-fi novel I ever read was Ben Bova's The Dueling Machine.

Mark Hamill tweeted a nice farewell:

"So sad to hear David Prowse has passed. He was a kind man & much more than Darth Vader. Actor-Husband-Father-Member of the Order of the British Empire-3 time British Weightlifting Champion & Safety Icon the Green Cross Code Man. He loved his fans as much as they loved him. #RIP" -- Mark Hamill, via Twitter
Nice words by Hamill.

Sadly, pianist and composer Harold Budd has passed away. I first encountered him on Eno's Ambient #2 in 1980 and had followed him and listened to his work ever since.
