RIP

This man made me laugh so hard i cried. Death better be let him stay for a few days.

His stuff needs to be taught in schools and not that overrated pap Shakespeare.

RIP Sir TP. Very sad

RIP Sir Terry! I am totally gutted by this news. He was one of my favourite authors. Read all his Discworld novels

You better treat him right Death! *shakes fist*

That t-shirt is pretty great and I think probably sums up TP's humour and attitude.

There are times I wish I could read them for the first time, give yourself a treat and read Guards Guards!

They're all really good but my starter would be Mort

I think Guards Guards is a better book as an introduction to Discworld though Mort is a fanstastic book. While they are two of the best books, Nightswatch has to by favorite.

They say a picture paints a thousand words and this sums up my love for Pratchett and Discworld more than I could with words

Off the back of his passing and this thread, I've just ordered a copy of Discworld from the rainforest place. Will be my first ever Pratchett book.

RIP Terry. You gave me so much over the years, especially when I was going through tough times. This truly hurts

I've not yet read his books, but I did see his documentary on Dignitas and Alzheimers, while its a shame he died, I'm glad he did before his condition deteriorated him to the extent he feared.

RIP.

Never read his books but back in 1995 I was playing this

and still to this day it remains one of my first and most fondly remembered adventure puzzle games. RIP.

A sad day. RIP Terry.

He visited the library in High Wycombe back in 92 to give a speech and i missed out on tickets, i was always mad at myself for missing that.

krooton · 12 Mar 2015 at 22:46

So sad, Reaper Man was my favorite, first book to ever make me lol.

Rich1988 · 12 Mar 2015 at 22:48

met him and read every single discworld novel among the rest of his books, its a sad sad day but there wasnt much of him left

new boy · 12 Mar 2015 at 23:07

enjoyed a lot of the discworld books. Couldn't get on with some of them though. Might have to read some of the ones I remember liking, because its been so long I can remember much about them.
