RIP, David Eddings
Jun. 3rd, 2009 09:06 pmI was sorry to hear that David Eddings has died. (Obituaries at Tor.com and Suvudu.com.)
If you look closely at the icon you can see the Belgariad in MMPB and the Malloreon going MMPB-TPB-HC over the first three books. That was one of the first series for which I haunted bookshops when I knew the next volume was about to come out.) I remember that finding Guardians of the West was like reuniting with old friends, at a time when I badly needed something like that. I grew out of the books a while back, and no longer own most of the later ones, but they gave me many happy hours in my younger days.
