Robert Sheckley was one of the very first sf writers I ever read, back in the 1960s. He and Asimov introduced me to SF. I loved his humour. I will miss him very much. There's never been anyone, whether in SF or any other kind of fiction, quite like him. My prayers go to his family.

The Ashmolean Museum, Oxford. They have a shrine in the Egyptian gallery that contains a wall-painting of two of Akhenaton's young daughters, who are obviously gossiping. Alas, when I revisited the place a couple of years ago, the shrine was locked. That wall-painting annihilated space and time for me: I understood that people living 3000 years ago were as human then as I am now.
