dreamweaverI just read about the both of them passing away.
Mannn, what a bummer. I love David Edding's books. The first book I read that was written by him, I was hooked.
I remember distinctly the first time I picked up one of his books. I was trawling the scifi/fantasy section of Barnes and Nobles, looking for something new and different, when I picked up a new release from the display at end of the isle. I read the blurb on the back cover, and the first few pages. I was hooked. I bought the book and devoured it in a manner of hours. I waited impatiently after that for the next one in the series to hit the shelves. The man could tell a good story.
My poor sets of The Belgariad, and The Mallorean, are so battered and worn, I'll have to buy another set, probably very soon. This is my third set of both series of books.
I hate to think that he won't ever write another story. I've got every book he wrote, but I enjoyed those first two series more than any of the others. He wrote such wonderful, strong female characters in those two series, and men who were macho but still respectful of the wimmen. Sigh, I loved the character of Polgara. She was independent, stubborn, strong, and could still be vulnerable. I think, if she were real, we would get along like a house on fire.
And David Carradine. I can remember the very first episode of Kung Fu. There were very few shows that caught my imagination while I was growing up, but Kung Fu was one that did. I watched that show religiously, LOL. I guess my age is showing.
And he was so great in Cannonball, and in Kill Bill.
Sigh two great, but differing talents, gone. What a crying shame.
Go in peace David and David, maybe you can bear each other company in this last great adventure.
