R.I.P., Robert Asprin

I was saddened to hear of the passing of another literary great. Robert Asprin was the mind behind the Myth Adventures series of novels that I read when I was a teen. His was a fresh take on fantasy, blending silly humor with cutting social commentary. Ok, mostly silly humor, but still a good read. He is also responsible for the (much darker) Thieves World series. While not a huge fan of Mr. Asprin's work, I still feel the loss of one of modern fantasy's more influential figures.
