Well, all that is left is Terry Brooks and my childhood will be completely over. . .
Robert Asprin was my Terry Pratchett, I didn't really get into the Xanth novels, but the MYTH books struck a chord with me somehow and Phule's Company is the only Sci-Fi series other than Star Wars and Star Trek that I read. Although I won't be quite as distraught as I was over Gary's death, this year isn't getting any easier.
RIP my friend and try to keep Gleep from stealing your cloud.
