Man. Sobol is one of the reasons I am who I am today. I simply could not get enough EB or 2MM as a kid. And now there won't be any more. Raymond Abrashkin died in 1960, Jay Williams in 1978, Ruth Chew in 2010, and once Zilpha Keatley Snyder (b. 1927) finally passes on, just about my entire childhood will have been laid to rest.

Oh no! Just had my son start reading EB books this summer. Part of the summer reading program for his school was to write to an author. I was thinking of having him write to Mr. Sobol since he enjoyed the first two books.

Man, I must have read those books a million times when I was a kid. So awesome. I always felt like I learned something when I read them (not bit things, but lots of cool little things).

Should we just have one big Brazelton thread instead of a thread for each famous person who dies? Because today we'd need three separate threads. There was Sobol, Stephen Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, and Jon Lord, keyboard player and co-founder of Deep Purple.

Can we remove the "encyclopedia brown" from the thread title and use this for all the minor celebrities from now on?

JFC - we can have 5 different "I don't care that Juski doesn't care that Bananahands doesn't care" threads, but we've got WAY TOO many RIP threads!?! Who cares! Just let it slide & if nobody truly cares, then the thread will go dormant & slide off the front page.
