Rip Sir Terry Pratchett

[woofgang]

The world has lost a great mind and a great man.

A sad loss, but I'm glad he didn't have to endure years and years of decline.

[Brinjal]

Agreed mosaic

Now free from any more concern and at peace RIP.

A sad loss, RIP Terry.

That's just made life a bit less "wyrd" for me :)

Hope I haven't mis quoted him .

Thanks Woof, I know it was Death who said it but TP wrote it and I think it a fine epitaph, must re read his books.

His PA tweeted a suitable "ending" from the pen of a great scribe

AT LAST, SIR TERRY, WE MUST WALK TOGETHER.

Terry took Death’s arm and followed him through the doors and on to the black desert under the endless night.

The End.

I'm not a big reader but did read a few of the Discworld books a few years ago. I remember being captivated by his wit and imagination. I did finish both the books which is unusual for me.

He seemed to spend a lot of time dwelling on mortality and the such like.

After becoming hooked on his books, I long ago decided that when I am old I am going to model myself on Nanny Ogg

So very sad, another great and inspiring mind gone from the world :-(

I loved the twitter thing very appropriate.
