José Saramago, Nobel prize winner dies

So I wanted to mention the death of Nobel prize winner Jose Saramago. Here is a link to his obituary in the NY Times. You should read it. He led a fascinating life. I have read a few of his books and I recommend Blindness and The Cave. I have started reading Baltasar and Blimunda and have really liked it so far. So just a bit of book news for all you nerds out there.
