That was one of the first series for which I haunted bookshops when I knew the next volume was about to come out.
Me too. I was in college when the Malloreon was coming out and could barely afford hardcovers, but I bought them anyway.
I nearly started rereading the Belgariad yesterday when I heard the news, but I fear they wouldn't stand up to rereading, and I did love them once. Besides Tolkien, Eddings was the first fantasy author I really loved.
Mission Statement
Reading, writing, plant photography, and the small details of my life, with digressions into science and computing.
