AL,
I agree with you entirely that Eddings' books are simple, unsophisticated stories in which the "good guys" always win. Sometimes it's just nice to read stories like that when you don't feel like anything too "heavy". I read lots of more "serious" stuff too, but Eddings is nice when I want to relax with a pleasant story.
The Belgariad (or at least the last three books in the series) has recently been released as a MobiPocket eBook, which is what prompted me to re-read it.
