One of the best authors of all time. I haven't seen anyone else who's able to write witty dialogue like him at such a consistent level. A lot of the things he said were very smart, too, even if they were written humorously.

“YOU FEAR TO DIE?
"It's not that I don't want... I mean, I've always...it's just that life is a habit that's hard to break...”

For me the best author ever, eventho i needed to read the books in german since my english sucks  :cry:

Terrible that such a brilliant mind succumbed to Alzheimer in the end, he should've had a good twenty years left. Long live his memory.

Xant, for that I just removed you from my ignore list

Since I work at a tv station, we got informed by our boss quite close after the info was released and it really struck me (we got informed because we´re soon airing a diskworld movie and he wanted the announcement changed so that we air it in his honor[as if we wouldn´t have aired it anyways, pff]).

By far my favourite author, I learned more from his books than a lot of our school books and literally laughed tears because of his excellent choice of words.

this calls for some artwork

First time I've felt a celebrities death affect me. He showed me how superior books can be to other forms of media and made me love reading. Will miss him.
