Probably Madrid: Sad News [Noticias Tristes]

Thursday, 13 December 2007

It was announced yesterday that Terry Pratchett, my all-time favourite author, has early-onset Alzheimer's.

An embuggerance indeed.

Jayne said...: I saw it on Sky Drivel this morning & was really shocked. Such a talented man & he must have a hundred more books tucked away in the sludge, but won't be able to get the words out. Bugger.

I believe he has a new book out btw.......have you got it? Sorry I haven't had time to read much of yours - I will though, promise :-); Thursday, December 13, 2007
Keef said...: Jin: His latest book is 'Making Money', an yes, of course I've got it. Pterry has very conveniently bringing out a new DiscWorld book a fortnight before my birthday for years and years. So BetterArf never has to think too much about what to get me! It'll be a bit of problem if the supply of fresh ones dries up!; Thursday, December 13, 2007
Passionate Dilettante said...: Good grief guys. Give the man a break. Or at least a link to his site on the subject of 'I aten't dead'.; Friday, December 14, 2007
Jayne said...: I saw the book (Making Money) in Jashanmal in AD Mall a coupla days back, but they wanted 170 durries for it, so I passed up the chance to buy it. (buggrit!)

With luck & perhaps the aid of some good medication, Mr TP can hopefully knock out enough books to keep Better Arf going in pressies for a few years yet :-); Tuesday, December 18, 2007
