RIP David Eddings

[velessa]

David Eddings has died D=

He wrote my still-favorite series to this day, The Belgariad. I can always go back and read those books and enjoy them over and over every bit as much as the first time I read them. I also really enjoyed The Mallorean, The Elenium, and The Tamuli. Didn't like his later stuff written with his wife much, but still, he will be truly missed. =(

My friend Lisa leant me her enormous hardcover editions of the Elenium in the 9th grade I believe. From then on, I was not only an Eddings fan, but a die-hard fantasy fan. When my husband told me that his mother read the Belgariad to him and his sister (ignoring any naughty parts and summarizing some battles), I knew he was the one for me. Very sad news!
