I learned about this a few years ago and was genuinely devastated. The Belgariad and The Maloreon were childhood favourites. My copies went in the fire after that.
It should be noted you don’t need to go burn your Eddings books: Leigh died in 2007, David in 2009 and all proceeds from their estate now go to Reed College in Portland, Oregon.
Shame the author is a piece of crap, I really like his work as a kid!

From the linked thread.
And Reed is still a good college to support!
Kind of a subjective matter to make a sweeping statement on imo, but sure.
