Let's make this birthday one to remember.

93 years old (Born on July 07, 1931)

Happy birthday, David Eddings! Hope your day is filled with enough adventure and magic to make Belgarion jealous. Just don't invite too many sorcerers or knights—things might get complicated (and possibly hilarious). Your legendary series like "The Belgariad" and "The Malloreon" remain timeless treasures that have enchanted generations of readers.

In honor of all those dragons you've slain on paper—and the countless hours we've lost sleep turning pages till dawn—we raise our goblets in celebration today! Here's wishing you another fantastic year ahead; may it be even more inspiring than Sparhawk’s quests, yet easier-going than Polgara's mood swings.
