Well, I now (finally) own every one of the 41 Discworld books, every Mapp, and every movie (including the cartoons); I have read and seen them all multiple times and can still go back and happily read and see them all again.
It is as Sir Terry said: No one is truly dead as long as heis name is spoken.
I, for one (and I'm very sure I'm not alone in this) will always remember the Wit and Wisdom of Terry Pratchett.
I hope when they buried him, they buried him with his books; just like the wool and the shepherds in his book ‘The Wee Free Men’. May you live on through your stories and enrich the lives of readers for the many generations to come.
I've started reading the series over again from the start and am now currently on Sourcery, one of my favorites. Man what a great series and a great author.
One of my fav lines from one of his books
"Shit by the fire and have shum shoop"
lol.
I REALLY wish he'd make 3D animated versions of his books, i think they'd be extremely popular but i guess funding would be a big issue.
Kinda like Shrek animation it'd be so cool to see Rincewind and Twoflower in 3D getting up to their funny antics :)
He livened it up a bit. Maybe a lot. Thanks Terry.
Sir Terry is just brilliant, best I've ever read
I've just finished my first Discworld book, "Men at Arms" and I think it's a great book. Terry Pratchett is an amazing author. I think the best part of the Discworld series are the characters because you can related to them and they're lovable.
I''ve just started the series all over again last week, and I'm at the 3rd book allready...
Can't stop reading...
So much imagination...
I'm only 15 books in to the Discworld series and I'm loving the ride, his style of writing is turning into a huge influence on the way I try to write myself, of course I can only dream of ever having a smidgen of the talent that Terry has with the written word.
As an aspiring writer, I know what you mean. Another inspiration of mine is the Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer. That series was what got me into reading!
I want this man to be my mentor
What an amazing author and amazing man may you rest RIP Sir Terry
💕best books of all time 😍📚
You sir are a genius.
Long live Terry Pratchett, lord of the laughter!
Good bye Sir..... *28.4.1948 - 12.3.2015+
i love him
love his books big fan of Mort,Jingo,The Nation awesome books
Yeah I see what you mean. I think the earlier references were more to other books in the genre, (the first couple of characters in colour of magic are a parody) , but given his love of punning I'd be surprised if other media refrences didn't turn up right from the start. I wonder if l-space has the answer?
I love Sir Terry Pratchett's books. All of them. I have read, and own every single book he has written.
Which would you say is best?
@@snaketooth0943 any of the City Watch books. I have read each of them hundreds of times.
Anyone whose read the New Discworld Companion will know that Mr Pratchett doesn't think that JK Rowling stone Hogwarts from U.U. in any way. It's a detailed answer in the book, but the long and short of it is there have always been schools for wizards of some shape and form in storytelling since such stories began, and U.U. and Hogwarts are just two more contemporary examples. JK Rowling could well have written HP first, and then Terry Pratchett would be accused of nicking the idea! I
i hope he makes more i just seen "Going Postal"
epic!
i love all the watch books,with vimes and the gang, but light fantastic and c of magic were brilliant too! reaper man i have read 3 times nw and is one of my favourite! Pratchett is the best!
@lozleader how can you get "more english" than his english accent?
Nanny Ogg's cookbook ... use the loo before reading... do NOT read in the library, I nearly got thrown out...
He also throws in film references, references to other books, folklore, UK TV programmes and so on.
The video image quality is "Auto 144p", which is about the lowest definition you can get.
i've read Terry Pratchett's Hogfather. and OMG!, it's fantastic and funny. espesily when bad language is used in the dialoge. i don't read very often, so give me a one of hes books and i promise u, i fliping read it!
@demosj Pratchett is on a completely different level to JK...
The Discworlds books are my all my favourites :)
Read it and find out!
English people sound different from city to city. Even is they are fairly close such as Liverpool and Manchester the accent is very distinct. Most people in the USA ( if you are from there ) have not heard many English accents because the London or South East England accent tends to be in all the movies.
Terry Pratchett is the best at putting sarcasim into the written word.
Oh Terry Pratchett, if I where only 60 years older...
@tsactuo123 Search for the Discworld MUD. If it's still up. its text-based though
I have a few of Terry's discworld novels. I want to get into them but I struggle to understand it. 🤓
Terry patchett plays the elder scrolls IV oblivion :D
if only there was a way to combine my favorite game and my favorite books, man, a bethesda discworld game would be absolutely fantastic
@johnpaulmccain - Couldn't put it better myself :D
@jordanbarker676 As long as it improves their work, a little rivalry can go a long way.
Love him!!
Imagined his voice different though... more English.
That's as English an accent as you're likely to hear now that we're all as multicultural as Ankh-Morpork.
His daughter writes videogame scripts... she did Overlord 1 and 2.
Terry Pratchett is the funniest author alive. Period
Janekroll even funnier than Douglas Adams?
@Highstar25
bethesda discworld I have though the same thing a huge real time ( ish ) discworld game would be amazzzziiinn
erm y not both?
Can't wait for another Moist Von Lipvig book!
I just discovered Discworld. I think it looks cool so I'm going to go......BUY A BOOK!?!?!? Oh no whats happening to me?
The man is a God
Why don't you just let us have your ways and read Pratchett and you read Sartre and stop bothering us. That'd be really sweet of you :)
@thanqualhighseer Probably because they're too many of them??? Or because "Discworld" hasn't cemented in the American market yet...
i'm a lord of the rings fan
In real life he was a loathsome creature. Completely full of his own self importance.
I assume you have proof of these claims of yours?
He was so incredibly based and wonderful.
He might not be in so much danger from Alzheimer's atm, he's undergoing treatment that has halted the disease, possibly improving his condition. :)
Nope 😢😭
Pity me. I think Terry Pratchett is one of the grear thinkers inliterature. His views on how the world (not only Discworld) make him equal to other 'fiction' writers like Aldous Huxley.
Have you even read Discworld?
Its all about the money
If you are a cynical and greedy ass, then yeah it is.
Proof the earth is flat.
No, the Disc is flat. Read The Science of Discworld, and/or watch this video about TSoD -

"Terry Prat-ket" I'm been pronouncing it wrong all along. He, Brian Jacques, and Neil Peart are probably the three most mispronounced people in the world.
