RIP Terry Pratchett
Quote: Pratchett died on 12 March 2015 from final complications with Alzheimers, according to his publisher. The Telegraph reported that his death had been natural and not linked to his support for assisted suicide. Tweets from his account just after his death included one saying "Terry took Death’s arm and followed him through the doors and on to the black desert under the endless night." Last activity of his account was a simple tweet that read: "The End." And there goes my favorite author ever. RIP, Mr. Pratchett. =(
I'll miss seeing quotes like this: “Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life.”

When I was young and we had no internet, I visited the library often. One day I noticed a book with a flashy cover. Like really flashy cover so much that I just lented it on the spot. The book was titled "Small Gods" and introduced me to the magical place known as Discworld. Following years were filled with reading pleasure from the Discworld series. I literally said "No!" when I saw the news headlines.
Rest in Peace, Terry. Rest as much as you like.

This hit me hard and soured my whole day. RIP Terry.
If there is an afterlife, I hope its as much fun for him as his books were for us.

Verda said: » with so few up and coming greats Blame the people reading and the companies publishing. They sell what people buy, and people buy crap. I promise you the greats are out there, there's just so little market for them. Anyhow, will discuss this elsewhere if anyone desires, don't need to go too far into it in this thread.
