I can't fathom why we don't have a thread for him.

Post away and I'll join in later:)

I love Terry Pratchett, especially the Death and Moist von Lipwig miniseries (Thief of Time will be read soon) Also loved The Truth, Monstrous Regiment and Strata :)

I think part of the appeal for me is he is a brilliant world builder. He has constructed Discworld in so much depth and detail. I have been reading The Compleat Ankh Morpork and it's an interesting book to dip into now and again.

I've just started re-reading because I've no idea where I'm up to in the series so I'm starting again! I bought last week and it's highly amusing!

Re-reading the series in order this time and just as enjoyable as ever, rather like old friends.

Anyone else feel like reading the disc world series again?

I was thinking of starting the Watch books - I found my copy of Guards! Guards!

[I happened to go on facebook a couple of minutes after they announced Sir Terry Pratchett's death. I admit it made me cry. I lived so close to him for so many years but I never got to meet him and when he announced his Alzheimer's I felt gutted - my Papa died from Alzheimer's and it is such an awful disease. I wish the world was more aware that it doesn't just affect memory.]

I had a cry as well, his writing was so important to a lot of people including me. I don't have all of the books but I might try to read the ones I've got in order and then collect the rest at some point.
I was trying to change the picture for here to one of his quotes but can't do it?

I have no idea how I created the profile photo when I made the group. It was the only photo I could find quickly that I'd taken which would be vaguely fitting;) Is it the quote I made for my facebook profile pic? (Just found it in the photo album) I had to download an app on my phone and take a close up photo so it was just black and then type it. All the other quotes were rectangular landscape and couldn't be cropped to fit my profile - fun lol. I'll have a search and see if I can figure out how to do it:)

Had to delete old photo to add new one:)

I read The Colour of Magic about two years now, but I've never had the time/opportunity to continue the series. I read Good Omens more recently, and that reminded me how much I like Terry Pratchett's writing. I think I'll re-read The Colour of Magic once I finish my current book, and then hopefully I'll finally continue the series from there.

Very sad news. I had a little cry and felt quite depressed for a while. Alzheimer's is a terrible thing.
