What an awful year this has been for genre literature.

 :(  A tragic year, indeed. I, too, loved Asprin. His creativity and sense of humor made many bad days good for me, as I'd often pick up a M.Y.T.H. book when I needed a lift.

He will be missed.

there was that summer when i read every myth book available. it made me realize that fantasy doesn't have to take itself seriously.

i'm going to pick up some of his newer stuff.

*ahem* I believe you mean "MYTHed".

How do you fight a bully that can un-make history?
