John Updike (at rest) – reaction from the blogs

In the few short hours since the very sad news of John Updike’s death, the news has spread around the blogosphere like wildfire. I’m sure there will be a lot of attention given to Updike’s passing over the next few days, considering how prolific a writer he was.

I always find it interesting to read other blogger’s reactions to sad news like this. So I gathered up some related blog posts from my Google Reader page and decided to link to them here as a way of paying homage to John Updike:
