In Memorium: John Updike

You may have heard the news about the recent passing of Pulitzer Prize winning author, John Updike. Well known for Rabbit Run, Pulitzer Prize winning Rabbit is Rich and Rabbit at Rest, as well as The Witches of Eastwick, and many others, John Updike was one of my favorite authors.
