A very sad day. Rest in peace Terry.

I never read all his books but I appreciated his sense of humour after playing the Discworld adventure game, probably for the best that he "left early to beat the rush" given his onset of Alzheimer's. Sad nonetheless.

It's well worth a go at reading at least one of his books if you liked the game. Colour of Magic had a tv adaption too.

He produced a map of diskworld, which surprisingly entered the non fiction book lists on account of it being a real map, even though the location was fictional.

His latter collaboration with Stephen Baxter produced the Long Earth books. A series that was good in theory, the base idea of multiple earths in millions of universes was interesting. Unfortunately the writing was too much Baxter and not enough Pratchett. The third book, the Long Mars is effectively 3 stories badly tacked together into one book. The fourth is due out in a couple of months but what the 5th is going to do without Pratchett I have no idea. So far the overall impression has been very meh, and that's not just from me.
