RIP Sir Terry Pratchett

[nomadicwriter]

I knew this one had to be coming someday, but it still feels far too soon. My brother's Discworld books were the first adult books I ever read, and the series still stands up as my favourite of all time, and the source of my two favourite characters of all time. RIP, pTerry. You're leaving a hell of a hole in the world behind you.

It's an utter sod. We've lost one of the greats.

He really was. Still a bit stunned even though I knew his health was on the slide. I thought there'd still be more time and more books.

It feels unreal.

It really does. I knew time had to be running out, and I had read some articles last year that suggested that his health was failing, but it still feels like this happened out of nowhere and far too soon. (He's almost exactly the same age as my dad, as well, which really doesn't help.)
