RIP, Terry Pratchett

Yes, I had a pile for him to sign, too, once. He let me exceed the signing limit graciously, as I also had to wait until all the others had had a chance.
BTW, Nice Vance-ian name you have here.

There’s a change.org petition to ask Death to send him back.

Somehow, I think he would have approved.

You’re just piling it on, aren’t you?

it’s the fury that was the engine that powered Discworld.

I don’t know if it was fury that powered his writing, but I have to say that it was his obvious deep and abiding affection for almost every one of his characters, despite his full recognition of their multitude of flaws, that truly made me love Pratchett.

While there was the occasional true villain in his books, what truly set him apart was his gentleness and fondness for humanity, even as he made acknowledged and made light of our short-comings.

Also, there are very few who can have me laughing and weeping in the space of a paragraph. He will be greatly missed.

Read aloud to the wee bairns in a wood heated snowbank, we share the Ramparts, the Watch, Unseen U; a deap bond indeed. The daughter’never got it’, i suppose Granny would feel the same.
