I didn't realize David Eddings had died until I logged into the SFWA web site. Eddings was one of my favorite authors when I was younger. I remember wandering into supermarkets and drooling over his covers--one of the few fantasy novels you could see on the shelves. I still re-read the Belgariad, which has an innocent charm I adore. Silk will always be one of my favorite characters, as will Belgarath, the scamp who somehow managed to become a wizard. The fact that he was a Pacific Northwest author made him even more precious to his northwest fans.
He brought inspiration and joy to millions of readers. You will be missed.
