Terry Pratchett

As reported, Terry Pratchett has been diagnosed with a rare form of early Alzheimer's disease.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the world's greatest living author (this is not an opinion, it is an irrefutable fact) for the work he has given us. I say 'greatest living' because I am entertaining the possibility that someday there may be a finer author.

If worse comes worst, I hope that he forgets his writings and is able to read them with virgin eyes so that he can appreciate the sheer brilliance of his books as countless millions have.

Stay strong, Terry Pratchett.
