    To be honest I haven't read his books. That said, I am still in favour of more writers on the Deathlist!

    12 years I’ve been on this site and I’m fairly sure this is the first time I’ve shrugged my shoulders and moved on very quickly after I’ve seen a death from the main list. Now, back to the Huw Edwards saga……..!

    Can't find anything about it on the BBC website, where the top story in "Culture" is Jeremy Vine saying the BBC presenter should come forward and fall on his sword, presumably tripped up by having his trousers and underpants round his ankles. But here's a song inspired by Milan Kundera...

    Milan Kundera, one of my favourite picks, is an unexpected unique for me, here.

    The most shocking thing about this death is that no-one on the forum seems to care.

    Fallen back with regards to what was possible after Tina Turner's death but there is still some talent on the team. Still ahead of 2017 which was the second most successful year Updated for Milan Kundera

    I did provide an example, but the example followed the rules set forth. So there were rules AND an example. Not quite sure what you did, Sir C . . . Herb Alpert might be a restaurant owner, but I know him as a trumpeter and leader of the Tijuana Brass (er, musician). Looks like you spent some time on this, which is great, but everyone else is on the right track and you took a hard left at Zorbat station . . . .I have tried to clarify my opening rules to keep others from leaving the tracks. I like your effort here, but I know that if we went with wide open categories we would end up with many names outside the realm of what I consider legitimate celebrities/known figures. Maybe a future game!

    Taken much too soon. He was a prodigy for his age, though.
