Yes, very much a fan here. While I wouldn't let my kids read/listen to the books when they were younger due to some of the "adult" content in most of his books, I think he was a very good writer. He certainly had a way of drawing you into his stories and making you forget about everything else that is going on in the world. Just finished re-reading "The Cat Who Walks Through Walls" for the 3rd or 4th time.
