The Myth books were great, and I read the Thieves' World series so often as a kid that my copies fell apart.

Read all his stuff...tried reading it again recently but found that stuff I thought was GREAT as a kid didnt "do it for me" as an adult any longer. It was a strange/sad/educational experience.

I met the man at his house. He was a very nice man. He was even trying to help me out with being a guest at local convention.

I enjoyed his works and re-read them all the time.

My warmest regards goes out to his family, friends, and fans.

All I can say is Thank you Robert for sharing with us.
