R.I.P.

The author of one of my favorite books, The Power of One, died yesterday.

 

From the Seattle Times:

Bryce Courtenay, 79, best-selling Australian author whose books drew on his early-life experiences in Africa, died of stomach cancer Thursday in Canberra. He started writing in midlife; his debut novel, "The Power of One," published in 1989, was translated into 12 languages and became a hit movie.

 

My note:  The soundtrack of the movie is fantastic.

How did I not know you were a fellow Power of One appreciator! I made nearly every close high school and college friend see the movie, sometimes twice! Agreed, the soundtrack is fantastic.
