December 12th, 2007 by Cecilie | Filed under Books, News.One of my favorite authors of all times, Terry Pratchett (author of the Discworld books), has some bad news.
Read his letter here.
Summary: Has been diagnosed with early onset alzheimer, but isn’t dead yet…
The letter, even though it’s sad, makes me chuckle a little, he’s such a good writer! And funny!
For me personally the Discworld books has a very special place in my history. The first time I spoke to my sweetie it was because he was reading Witches abroad, I commented on his excellent choice of reading material and we started talking (also called praising pratchett). That’s two and half years ago and we’re still together. The Discworld books are excellent in that respect, if someone likes the books and reads all of them as soon as they get their grubby little hands on them, they are usually worth keeping. Those that read one book and dosen’t get it… or even worse, those that don’t even want to try… let’s just call them wankers.
So, don’t be a wanker, go and read some excellent books today! 
If you’re on Ravelry I also recomend checking out the Ankh Morpork knitters group.
I so agree - I love the Discworld books, and have read and re-read all of them, but I know people who just don´t get them. What´s not to get? Thanks for the tip on the Ankh Morpork kntitters group!
Aldri lest noe av Pratchett. Kanskje jeg må det? God jul!
