I just learned that Robert Jordan, author of the beloved (and often frustrating) Wheel of Time series, had passed on yesterday. The world lost a brilliant author. I am teh sad.

How did I miss this news...

My Monday just got a bit darker. I've been (albeit slowly) making my way through the series. This is the worse since Zelazny (author of the Amber series).

*sigh*

At least he was able to give the world a lot of well-written fantasy.

Wow. Now I feel bad. I was just saying yesterday that his literary talent doesn't merit him the ability to be an asshole to his fans like Orsen Scott Card can. It's possible I was calling him a hack writer and an asshole while he was dying. Weird.

That's three. Pavarotti, Madeliene L'engel, and Robert Jordan.

:sigh:
