Why he might be annoying:

    He said of his first novel, 'I stole Arthur's plot idea [from '2001'] shamelessly.'
    He was married four times, divorced three.
    He denied that AIDS was caused by the HIV virus.
    He called Holocaust denier Ernst Zundel 'a lonely voice of courage.'

    He was born with severe deformities to both feet that required years of corrective surgery.
    He wrote 'Inherit the Stars' to win a bet that he could get a novel published.
    He said, 'To a lot of people, a novel's a pulpit, an opportunity to design utopia, to tell people how things ought to be. No. It's a story.'
