I learned by Stephen Hunt that David Eddings passed away yesterday night, age 77. According to Hunt, "his commercial success paved the way for a whole generation of doorstopper sized fantasy series."
Apparently, he died of a stroke - the same thing that, in 2007, took the life of his wife, Leigh Eddings, with whom he had written several of his books. He never recovered from her loss.
Though I never read any of his books (yet), I was saddened by the news and pays my respects to his family.
