Yurgon Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Tweeted yesterday by his daughter Rhianna: AT LAST, SIR TERRY, WE MUST WALK TOGETHER. Terry took Death’s arm and followed him through the doors and on to the black desert under the endless night. The End. Terry Pratchett, 28 April 1948 – 12 March 2015. RIP :(

Roadrunner Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 what shall i say, had a good time reading almost all of his novels :( [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "There's nothing to be gained by second guessing yourself. You can't remake the past, so look ahead... or risk being left behind." Noli Timere Messorem "No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always been there first, and is waiting for it." Terry Pratchett

Rincevent Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 :cry: I love his work (my nickname is the French for Rincewind), we have lost a great author. I read every single book he wrote. He got me into learning english when I was younger (him and Magic The Gathering cards:P) R.I.P How can you govern a country which has 246 varieties of cheese?

msalama Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 R.I.P. A great humorist has passed away. The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.
Foul Ole Ron Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Obviously with my nickname I'm a fan. Read just about all his books after a friend introduced me to them when I was about fifteen. Genuinely gutted to hear of his death a few days ago. He was a great humorist and humanist and will be missed. R.I.P. DON'T THINK OF IT AS DYING, said Death. JUST THINK OF IT AS LEAVING EARLY TO AVOID THE RUSH.
etcher Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 The sun goes down upon the Ankh, And slowly, softly fades - Across the Drum; the Royal Bank; The River-Gate; the Shades. A stony circle's closed to elves; And here, where lines are blurred, Between the stacks of books on shelves, A quiet 'Ook' is heard. A copper steps the city-street On paths he's often passed; The final march; the final beat; The time to rest at last. He gives his badge a final shine, And sadly shakes his head - While Granny lies beneath a sign That says: 'I aten't dead.' The Luggage shifts in sleep and dreams; It's now. The time's at hand. For where it's always night, it seems, A timer clears of sand. And so it is that Death arrives, When all the time has gone... But dreams endure, and hope survives, And Discworld carries on.
