What a loss this is. It is a shame there will be no more of his wonderful stories.

Oh, what a loss. I've read all his books. He wrote from the heart.
RIP, Mr. Conroy.

I remember being overwhelmed while reading Prince of Tides when it first came out.

I never realized how autobiographical some of his novels were.

Yes, I knew he went to The Citadel, so I figured The Lords of Discipline was drawn from that experience. Also South of Broad.

I've always wanted to read "The Great Santini", I'll need to make a point of it this summer.

I just found out he died.

The Prince of Tides is one of the very best novels I ever read.
