This will probably be the only famous name whose death can bring me to tears. When it was so hard to be understood, to talk, I found his books. Part of who I am now is because of this person. The reason I became a writer is because of this person. I don't know how to say thanks when all he did was make some unknown person across the other side of the country laugh when she didn't think she was still capable of it.

Well if that person is part of who you are, then they aren't really dead are they? Think about it like that. ;)

I didn't even like his stuff, but I have fond memories of the girl who talked me into reading it. I was starved for fantasy and it was a big revelation to knock into somebody else who was willing to be seen holding a book with a sorceress on the cover.

I like his books. RIP Mr. Eddings.
