Buddy Christ Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Sadly, Terry Pratchett died at age 66 I spent many, many hours reading his Discworld novels. Time to start reading them again.
Content Consumer Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 OH MY GOD NO YOU HAVE GOT TO BE SHITTING ME I am sadder now than I have been for a very long while.
Guest Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 a truly entertaining author, his books are great, a shame he has passed at such a young age.
Starbrow65 Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Humour, humanity and wisdom rolled into one. He's missed already. But the books remain.
Caster Troy Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Sad as the news is, I'm happy for him. He got to die with his wits still about him, surrounded by his family. Which is precisely what he wanted. Thank you for making a reader out of me, Terry Pratchett. RIP.
Duoleb The Chosen Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 "Over the centuries, mankind has tried many ways of combating the forces of evil... prayer, fasting, good works and so on. Up until Doom, no one seemed to have thought about the double-barrel shotgun. Eat leaden death, demon..." — Terry Pratchett
Cynical Misanthrope Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 I have never read any book by Terry Pratchett. There, I said it! On the other hand, I do not really read any books. They have no pictures in them!
Morferous Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Sir Terence David John Pratchett had suffered from rare form of Alzheimer's disease since 2007. His death didn't really come as a surprise. Terry showed us his wonderful world. I hope he found a new one after his passing.
hafertaler Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 It's really sad, I've been reading his books for the last half of my life and it's disheartening to know, that their won't be a constant stream of new releases. He was a real workhorse overflowing with ideas, and I barely have any unread books of his left : ( Just last week when I was in India I had to point out the river was so dirty, you could draw the outline of a murder victim on it... He'll be missed.
