Sir Terence David John Pratchett

[Pyan]

Terry Pratchett would have been 75 today. Taken far too early, sadly missed.​

He gave us gift that keeps on giving , Discworld .

 

[Alex The G and T]

The kind of man who would stand on a mountaintop, in a thunder storm, wearing wet copper armor, shouting, "All Gods are Bastards."

I feel that all of the previous Discworld novels are leading up to this story. In my opinion it's the greatest story that he ever wrote.

Just noticed this on Wikipedia. pterry was always one for the grand - self-deprecating - gesture.

"Pratchett's daughter, the writer Rhianna Pratchett, is the custodian of the Discworld franchise. She said she had no plans to publish her father's unfinished work or continue the Discworld series. - - -Pratchett told Neil Gaiman that anything that he had been working on at the time of his death should be destroyed by a steamroller. On 25 August 2017, Wilkins fulfilled this wish by crushing Pratchett's hard drive under a steamroller at the Great Dorset Steam Fair.

I hope Death was there to greet him. He would have been disappointed if he wasn't.

When we see him in the next world, he'll be having a conversations with James Branch Cabell and John Myer Myers and others.

And the Cheshire Cat.
And Johnathan Swift.
And Walt Kelly.

Just re-starting this thread. I thought that it was time.
If you want to do something concrete in pterry's memory, in addition to pushing his books and perspectives, don't forget the Orangutan Foundation International. He was a big time supporter and advocate.

I don't believe that I have posted this here previously.
When I first saw this it almost made me cry.

I should give credit to the artist, Jeff Sorley. He posted it on Facebook - and said it was okay to share.
