It was his Belgariad series that started my love of reading. His novels will always be right up there in my favourites; the excitement and wonder, to a young girl who didn't like reading, was just awesome, and it all comes rushing back whenever I pick his novels up again. I was so sad when he died, it was a great loss, but his books will continue to be dearly loved. Happy SFF Writers Day!
