Sad event but a wonderful legacy. Every time a new Discworld book came out I'd go back to the first and read them all again. Time for a long drink and a good read methinks
RIP Terry Pratchett

Me too.
Many years ago at school, I was in the library, and the librarian, (a good friend of mine) pressed a book in my hands `You must read this`
It was `the Colour of Magic.`
I for one, am not a Fiction reader, but I do have a pretty full collection of Discworld books.

I heard the news this morning but just this evening saw how his passing was announced on his twitter feed. It got me all choked up and I've just sat here crying. The wife think I'm mental now.

+1 to that.
Sad to have him go so relatively young. I consider him one of the sharpest minds of our time.
Sad day, his books have brought a lot of fun to peoples lives. I am not the only one who has picked one up on a bad day and ended up laughing.
It is doubly sad that we lose a man who brought so much joy through his writing and that we will never get to read those Sir Terry could have written. I am sure that as he had those cameo roles in the films of his books he will play a cameo role in his readers minds when we read or see something Pratchett-esque.
Rest easy, Terry
Rest easy, Terry
And he made his own sword using meteorite iron. Absolute class

Such sad news.
I hope he passed away the way he wanted to, in his garden with his favourite music playing and a glass of his favourite wine by his side.

Apparently in his bed, cats on top and family around.
Some fantastic artwork starting to appear in memory of Sir Terry. I'm going to have to go up and have a look at the Brick Lane one.
