Rest in peace, John

I was very saddened to find out today America lost yet another of its great treasures.

John Updike, prize-winning writer, dead at 76

In 2007, it was Norman Mailer and Kurt Vonnegut. And now with the new year barely in place, we've lost John too.

The literary landscape of our culture has been shaken to its core the last few years.

Damn. Just...damn.
