for those of you who don't know, he wrote the acclaimed Redwall books (young adult fantasy I guess?). I read (and owned, actually) all of them as a kid, and I have fond memories of them, even if they did a get a bit formulaic.

this happened earlier this month, btw, but I wasn't aware of it, and nobody else made a topic about it.

I've heard it as Mat-thi-us with emphasis on the "thi".

Redwall was an excellent series. My favorite was Martin the Warrior. =/

Damn this kind of sucks.

ive not actually heard of that guy or those books. not my forte really.

but the other day i read in the Times that "the brigadier" character from the Dr Who episodes with John Pertwee had died. and only a few weeks before that the english pete Postelthwaite guy who was in the bernard cornwell Sharpe tv adaptations and various other movies including inception had also died.

omfg y u pepol die tho?

still, at least he left an imprint on the literary world. but makes me wonder what will become of others including terry pratchett as all i hear now is the progress of his mental illness.

re. Terry Pratchett

I heard he had to have Tony Robinson deliver his speech on assisted suicide a while ago, and that he doesn't do book signings anymore because it's too hard.
