What's the polite thing to say here? I feel like "that's a shame" comes off sarcastic... In fact I'm pretty sure at this point that expression can ONLY be used sarcastically. Is it just me or did that entry from whoever that was sort of go off on a bit of a different direction for a while there?
At any rate, I never read those books, but I know a lot of people here liked them. Was the last book he was writing supposed to be the last one, or was he just going to keep on going as long as he was able? Continuing on this, were there a bunch of unresolved plot holes or something? I heard the stories are pretty convoluted so that's highly possible I suppose. If the guy left no wishes I suppose anyone could just take over from here so long as they do well.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
