I did not hear this....thanks for posting.  I assume Todd will keep cranking out Dragons books.

For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.    -  Carl Sagan

It's weird when someone you consider an absolute institution of the genre dies. Pern (and others) gave me many hours of pleasure. Vale.

Don't you mean in Lit? I think Sci-Fi only covers a little bit, and Feminist covers even less...
