Another loss to the writing world. I love his books. I did a marathan read of the entire Belgariad/Mallorean (sp??) series last summer. I love those books.

Oh, how sad. I love his work.
Sad. I like his work.
His were some of the first fantasy novels I read and re-read. Amazing stuff.
I am really depressed to hear this. What made it worse was I just discovered his wife, Leigh (who co-wrote with him) had passed away a couple years ago. I wish I would've known.
Polgara the Sorceress was my all-time favorite of the Eddings books.
THE BELGARIAD was one of the first series I ever read and made such an impact on me as a writer. I pretty much got all choked up when I learned that he had passed away.
Rest in peace, Mr. Eddings.
I'm so shocked! I can't believe he was that old. He will surely be missed.
