I knew he wasn't in great health the last couple of years and that he was planning for his daughter to continue the Discworld series.

I have spent countless hours over the years enjoying Sir Terry's wonderful work. He will be sorely missed.

RIP.

"Snuff" - saving up for "Raising Steam".

My daughter gave me "Night Watch" a few years ago and I gobbled up every Pratchett book I could afford after that. I can't believe I had lived so long without having read him. So much joy.
