I only tried to read one of his books and didn't much care for it but maybe I got a dud. Anyway, I can't deny that the guy was popular within certain circles and probably should have been right in my wheelhouse.
I did meet him once fleetingly, when a girlfriend had me go with her to a book signing. We got there hella early and I was second in a rather sizable line. He remarked something about me being a dedicated fan to be right at the front of the line and I was all "Actually, I have no idea who you are. Here sign this book for my girlfriend since it's only one book per person..."

I think he was probably humble enough to see the humor.
His death was not unexpected; but I have to admit, I'm feeling selfishly melancholy.
