Terry Pretchett dies aged 66

So, farewell then, Sir Terry. The man who made us laugh but also made us think with his sharp sci-fi and fantasy-themed satires of our world that made us question just how sane a world could be that could fit into a mad fantasy world so easily. His cruel illness threatened to rob him of the art he loved but he still had the ability to entertain and challenge the reader to the last. He will be greatly missed; British literature, indeed English-language literature, has lost one of its greatest modern lights.

The Seldom Killer:
Of all of the people in the world, he is the one that I hope that Death has taken too early. I like to imagine him sat in the kitchen chatting with Albert and Lady Susan over a nice bowl of fried porridge.

RIP

I'm sure I'm not the only Pratchett fan here - didn't Dora love his books too? My thoughts are with his family. I hope he met the Death he was expecting.

BeoPuppy:
Ugh.

hakko504:
A sad day for fans of humorous science fiction and fantasy.

I'll have to re-read a couple of his books this weekend in his memory.

RIP Pterry, You'll be missed.
