Favorite Author Fridays - Robert Asprin

This is a somewhat subdued Favorite Author Friday because Robert Asprin has recently passed away (June 28, 1946 – May 22, 2008). I loved his 'MYTH' books. They were hilarious and full of puns. He had some personal issues that led to a wide gap in the publishing of his books in the 90's and then to all new books being co-authored. I am sad that now that he'd finally gotten things back together he died. Apparently he died peacefully in his home with a sci-fi book in his hands. I would recommend any of his MYTH books.
