Thank you for posting that. I couldn’t help but think something similar, right after I heard the news.
I hope he went out the way he wanted, and I hope he had a hell of a time, his last night on earth, and my deepest sympathies for his family, friends, and fans.
Includin’ me.
No more Discworld books.
Dammit.
I’m not implying; I’m saying it outright.
And don’t call me Shirley.
Hm. I did read that one.
Goodbye, danmmit.
Damn it. Pterry was the best writer of our generation. Granny Weatherwax is my hero.
God damn it.
Terrible news. Shit!
I’m genuinely sitting here crying. No more Pratchett books.
It’s just… fuck.
Damn it all to Hell.
I’ve got Steam on my shelf. I haven’t read it yet, and I don’t think I will.
That way I’ll always have one more to look forward to.
In the meantime I’ll take pleasure in re-reading the others, just as I always have.
FWIW, Neil Gaiman’s recent blog indicated that the type of Alzheimer’s Sir Terry had affected his body greatly, but that his mind remained as sharp as ever. It’s just a different kind of awful, of course, being fully aware that you are trapped in a body that won’t respond to you, but at least he was still Him.
I’ll be donating to Alzheimer’s Research UK in his name, and I encourage all of you to do the same, if you can. “Strive”, indeed.
I read it, and decide not to read any more. It was starting to show his decline to me, and I didn’t want to see him go any further downhill.
I regret that decision now 
I wonder if this bookis still going ahead?
I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole of reading his quotes. This one seems appropriate.
"Do you not know that a man is not dead while his name is still spoken?”
― Terry Pratchett, Going Postal
More here … several pages worth.
Oh god, this made me wonder how Neil’s taking it:
“I will miss you, Terry, so much. This is the last thing I wrote about you. Neil Gaiman: ‘Terry Pratchett isn’t jolly. He’s angry’ | Terry Pratchett | The Guardian …”
“My apologies to all news outlets, tv stations, everyone asking for statements about Terry’s death. I don’t think I can say anything today.”
“He was my friend for thirty years and a month. I miss him. Donate to Alzheimer’s research and make it so things like this don’t happen.”
(from x.com)
And now I’m crying again. Buggrit.
Millennium hand and shrimp
Och, wailie, wailie!!
“If complete and utter chaos was lightning, then he’d be the sort to stand on a hilltop in a thunderstorm wearing wet copper armour and shouting ‘All gods are bastards!’”
If we all believe in him strong enough, surely it’s enough to get him up on the mountain playing checkers with Anoia?
Small Gods is my favorite and it’s heartbreaking to think our adventures in Discworld are over. We have lovely memories to reread, but no new ones. I’m jealous of Miller having something left to discover.
Shit. Terry, Leonard Nimoy and a good friend from college, all in March. This is an awful month.
I was lucky enough to have stumbled on Strata in a library, then read The Fifth Continent. I wasn’t sure what was going on, but it was damn funny.
Time to start rereading. Few authors of so many books keep up the quality over the years, and even get better. That’s a real gift.
Unfortunately it turns out to be very difficult to actually get the checkers set out of the drawer.
On the man’s own say-so, what other people expect his afterlife to be is completely beside the point, of course. 
This thread title definitely too my breath away. One of my favorite authors.
Damn.
I started reading Terry Pratchett when I was a teenager back in the early 80s. He is the only author from that period that I still continue to read today. I’m currently re-reading the Wee Free Men.
It’s like losing an old friend.
*“I’ll never be like this again . . . I’ll never again feel as tall as the sky and as old as the hills and as strong as the sea. I’ve been given something for a while, and the price of it is that I have to give it back.
And the reward is giving it back, too. No human could live like this. You could spend a day looking at a flower to see how wonderful it is, and that wouldn’t get the milking done. No wonder we dream our way through our lives. To be awake, and see it all as it really is…no one could stand that for long.” * ~ Wee Free Men
Goodbye Mr. Pratchett, 'twas a great ride, and I thank thee for driving.
:mad: No! Get back in here! You can’t go! You haven’t published Raising Taxes yet!
I believe I have a petition you may be interested in…
