View Full Version : Robert Asprin, 1946-2008 HarryT 05-23-2008, 07:34 AM Good books. He'll be missed. Nate the great 05-23-2008, 07:37 AM Actually, I was thinking he would be sorely myth-ed. (He would appreciate that.) NatCh 05-23-2008, 02:56 PM Wow. I didn't even know he was sick (as the linked announcement seems to imply). I'm saddened to learn of his passing. :sad3: Darqref 05-24-2008, 12:59 AM Wow. I didn't even know he was sick (as the linked announcement seems to imply). I'm saddened to learn of his passing. :sad3: ARRRGGHHH! over 20 years ago, I met him at a convention. In person, he seemed , ahem, "quite abrasive", but had lots of neat thoughts (and really awful jokes). At the time, he said he had outlines for the sequel to "Mirror Friend, Mirror Foe" that he wrote with George Takei. However, he was deliberately withholding it because there were negotiations ongoing for movie rights. He never got around to actually writing the damn thing, even thought the original book ended in a terrible cliffhanger. Wish Somebody could steal his notes and write the damn sequel - I wanna know what happened! stustaff 05-28-2008, 05:48 AM One of my favourites! him and Alan dean foster really got me into books! I love aspirins 'Phule' series I highly recommend them to anyone that hasnt read them yet. basschick 05-28-2008, 06:01 AM very sad news - he'll be missed :( what will skeeve and aahz do without him at the helm? |
