*woe*
Okay, famous people, stop dying now!
Author Tony Hillerman dead at age 83.
His Leaphorn/Chee mysteries were some of my very favorite books when I was a teenager, and even though I don't think the later ones are nearly as strong as the early ones (either that, or I've become a more demanding reader; maybe a little of both), I've still been buying them because I'm addicted to the characters. I'm sad for his family, of course, but on a selfish personal level, terribly bummed that we'll never have any more of Chee and Leaphorn and Bernie and Louisa.
