"Don't think of it as dying" said DEATH. "Think of it as leaving early to avoid the rush"

The Discworld books were the sound track to many a holiday journey when I was younger. Have to say his death is a true loss to society.

RIP

Couldn't have put it better and he was an advocate for being able to choose to die before the disease took him so even more poignant.

I have all of the Discworld books thanks to my uncle who has a talent in finding superb writers for me to devour reading. Upon discovering Terry Pratchett my world was opened to a whole new universe and my favourite book will always be MORT.

He is, was and always will be amazing, RIP Terry, you were and still are admired by millions.

Read most of his books,Discworld and non Discworld, and thoroughly enjoyed them all.
Didn't watch the Sky productions of his books so not sure how good they were but there are meant to be 2 more in production and one of them is The Watch and I have to say that these stories are my favourite.
