Brian Jacques, writer of the Redwall series has died. I read all his books. It was his world that I firsted RPed on in the internet world 15 years ago when I was first on the net. His book series was how I got my first friends, even though they were on the internet.

I'll miss him.

wow, that's a real shame. I read so many of his books, in fact I may have to reread them as soon as i can get them back from my parents.

I read the first 7 or 8 of them, I stopped because he was writing them faster than I could read them!

Also caught the animated series made in Canada, made me want to reread the early books. Jacques actually did the intro to each episode and ususally did a little segment on how he wrote each book. Quite entertaining and well worth watching.

He will be missed...

Oh no. The book Redwall literally got me through half of elementary school.

Ditto.

Tho I thought the later books were just dashed off, I loved the earlier ones.
