Another one of my favorite Authors that I'll never get to meet.  :(

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.

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...
