Why do you hate capitalism?“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

Kind of awesome that his passing was tweeted in the allcaps voice of his character, Death. I fancy that Terry wrote and planned that...
Hands down, my favorite author of the last 30 years. Started with "The Colour of Magic" and have been dazzled by his brilliance ever since. IMHO, one of the very best writers and easily the most brilliant satirist of my my generation.
May he rest in peace.
JM, nothing in today's reports on the possibility of an assisted exit. (Pratchett was an outspoken advocate for the right to choose his own death.) But reading between the lines, I suspect so.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

I also have no doubt that it wasn´t assisted suicide.
The last entry on his facebook page was from March 9. and neither this entry, nor any entry before that gave any hints at his imminent death or an assisted suicide.Tamsin (Lost Girl): "I am the Harbinger of Death. I arrive on winds of blessed air. Air that you no longer deserve."

I never tire of re-reading his books. To say he was my favourite author would be an understatement. Nothing else I read came close, except Douglas Adams, and he, too, was taken from us too soon. Say hello to Binky for me, Terry.Comment

My wife runs a review site for fantasy and sci-fi. Last night I tried writing an article about Pratchett and what his writing has meant to me over the years. I failed, utterly and completely.
