Very sad - my favorite author died yesterday
Robert Jordan (author of the Wheel of Time series) died yesterday, with one volume left to go in the series, which I've been reading for almost 20 years.
He'd been fighting a terminal disease for a couple of years, and supposedly he's made provisions for completion of the series in the event of his death, but it's very sad to see a very talented author die relatively young (I'd say he's around 60), with so much talent still to offer.
He was one of the greats in the fantasy genre.
