    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 :)

    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'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.

    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?

    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

    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 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.
