I have read a lot of Harlan Ellison, he is quite an eccentric writer. He lived to be 84 and I discovered he was only 5'3" tall. I always had, I don't know why, the impression that he was a tall man. Howard died at the age of 30, I wish he had lived to 84 and have been able to write for the vast majority of those years. Can you imagine the couple of million additional words our lives would have been enriched by? |

Can you imagine the couple of million additional words our lives would have been enriched by? I have read a lot of Harlan Ellison too, but never saw this. In the comments of the article I saw this. I would love to find that are read it. Ellison is OK, but I think the world would have been better off if Howard had lived till 84 and have been prolific all of those extra years. |

The ultimate writer, combine the good points of REH and ERB.

The ultimate writer, combine the good points of REH and ERB. I would agree. Howard would have been 117 this year if he was still alive. Can you imagine living that long and still having your mind and reasonably good health. You would surely have outlived your enemies by then. |

Most of us will be tickled pink if we make it to 80, after all the average life span of men is 74.5 years. |
