This has absolutely nothing to do with films in any way, but a personal favorite – at least as far as authors go, has passed away. David Eddings, author of the immensely popular Belgariad and Mallorean series of fantasy novels, was 77. Having read his entire output – admittedly a guilty pleasure as his works are simply great stories and there was never any deep meaning- it will be sad to not pick up any more releases.
