Sir Terry Pratchett

[Haymaker]

Has died.

Gutted. Loved his work.

[Pretty Boy]

Very sad news.

Have to confess to not being a huge fan off his books but his campaigning for the right to die and his work to raise awareness of stigma around dementia, something very close to me, was passionate and respectful.

Love everything I've read of his work. RIP.

[Peevemor]

A very funny, clever man. RIP

My first Pratchett was a joint effort with another author whose name fails me at the moment"Good Omens". It's been 20years since iI read it but I can still remember crying with laughter on my flight to the Falklands.

Thanks for the laughs Terry and I hope Mr DEATH was nice to you.

All of it!

My favourite series of Discworld books were the guards series: Guards! Guards! Men at arms, Feet of Clay, Jingo, The Fifith elephant.

However my favourite single Disc book is Soul Music. You will enjoy his books aa much as the kids!

I'd never read any of the stuff until somebody gave me the Death Trilogy as a present. That hooked me and although I haven't read them all, and wouldn't read them one directly after the other, the Discworld books are great as a light hearted break between more serious stuff.

Death is the best character.

Commander Vimes was my favourite, I felt a smidgen of empathy with his character always falling on his feet no matter how hard he tried to fail.

Cpl Nobbs would be a close 2nd because there were so many guys from my army time who he reminded me of.
