Have you read him? If yes, you must be a fan of him, like me. If not, I would strongly suggest you do it. I blackmailed one of my close friends to buy me the collection of his short stories.

His quotes? Found a couple of them from Internet. Rest, will upload as I recollect, or come across when I read.
