:( I loved the Malloerean series.

I'm sad to hear that. I liked his "Belgariad" as a child.

Re: OT: David Eddings Has Died
 

yeah, he was my favourite author as a kid

Re: OT: David Eddings Has Died
 

One of my favorites as well. He recycled a lot of his plots and characters, but part of the fun was watching what incarnation the same guys would appear in.

Re: OT: David Eddings Has Died
 

Yeah. The Belgariad was pretty much my introduction to modern fantasy novels, and I have many fond memories.

Re: OT: David Eddings Has Died
 

Yeah, I wasn't too familiar with his work, but I read about this in the newspaper. They weren't sure about whether it had been suicide or accident, though.

I really liked the Belgariad in my formative years, although I struggled to appreciate anything after. Irrespective, it seems like he was genuinely one life's good guys, so it's sad to see him go.
