How sad.  Even though he hasn't published anything recently I like, it is always depressing when an author I like dies.
My kids are almost old enough to introduce to the Belgariad.  Meaning old enough to follow the plot and understand the relationships, but young enough to not notice the plot and detail problems.

This is beyond depressing... I loved his work!  *cries*
"The custom of royalty in referring to oneself is to naturally employ the royal 'we'.  We are very happy, we are very sad, we are bored and suffer from ennui.  For a royal prince there's no such word as 'me', It's always 'we'.  So rightfully I should be two or three, don't you agree?"

Shoot.  I really liked a lot of his stuff growing up. May he truly rest in peace.

Seems like they're dropping left and right in Fantasy these days...

At least we still have Feist?
