Oh, dear. (Terry Pratchett news.)

You've probably seen this already, but I hadn't until just a few minutes ago, so...

Terry Pratchett has been diagnosed with a very rare form of early onset Alzheimer's.

This is possibly the least fair disease in the world. It eats parents, and grandparents, and fabulous people who had a lot more healthy years in them (thanks to modern medical science). And this makes me horribly sad, because Terry Pratchett is a wonderful man, and I was hoping we'd have a lot more healthy writing years from him.

His news is generally upbeat, and he's still writing, which is good. Still, this is just...

This isn't fair.

illness, sorrow, reading
