I liked Piers Anthony when I was very young, and now I can't imagine what the heck I was thinking. Same for David Eddings. I was a huge fan of his once, and now . . .
However, I do owe Eddings a big debt. On the first day of class when I was a college freshman, a woman sat down next to me because she noticed I was reading QUEEN OF SORCERY, which she had just finished. We struck up a conversation and started a friendship. I later met her roommate, who eventually became my wife.
So David Eddings set me up.
