Terry Pratchett dead at 66.

His Facebook page announced it 2 minuttes ago, but I can’t find anything elsewhere.

http://www.terrypratchettbooks.com/ seems to be down…

:frowning: RIP, you amazing man. You gave so much to the world. You pass into legend.

His twitter account appears to confirm.

its on the BBC now :frowning:

Yep. Fucking fuck fuck.

That’s a real shame. :frowning:

WELCOME, MY FRIEND. HAVE YOU ANY DIRECTIONS FOR ME?

rip

Twitter? Facebook?

No thanks. I’ll remember him the old-fashioned way. Through magical, flying books in a library run by an orangutang, just like our ancestors did.

From his twitter feed (also linked to above):

Terry took Death’s arm and followed him through the doors and on to the black desert under the endless night.

So long, Sir Terry; a pleasure to have known you briefly all those years ago.

His Facebook is also confirming.

“Don’t think of it as death. Think of it as leaving early to avoid the rush.”

Well fuck.

Rest in peace, and thank you for everything.

Awww. :frowning:

:frowning:

Well, crap.

Aww man… :frowning:

Gotta go read Interesting Times.

Damn.

Oh, too bad. :frowning:

I’ve still got lots to read, myself. Nearly finished “Feet of Clay”, and “Hogfather” is on its way to a library branch near my office!

WHAT IS THAT SENSE INSIDE YOUR HEAD OF WISTFUL REGRET THAT THINGS ARE THE WAY THEY ARE?
‘Sadness, master. I think. Now-’
I AM SADNESS.
