Everything is awful. If you need me, I will be crying in the foetal position.

Though I never read any of his stuff (largely because I just don't really read much at all), I do have a lot of friends that are huge fans. Sad indeed.

At least the Alzheimers didn't really get to him. That would've been worse.

The final tweets, though.

This was absolutely awful news, almost felt like a close friend had died. What a wonderful man, RIP.

And that's why I haven't read Raising Steam. Because I super-super-super-loved Going Postal and Making Money was pretty good and I don't want to read Raising Steam if it's going to be a disappointment. It's been sat on my shelf since it came out, along with I Shall Wear Midnight.

It's ok and I am giving it the benefit of the doubt as I go, in some ways worth it just to read Pratchett's last hurrah. I guess he was also dying while he wrote it so like, a little bit of slack is given I guess.

I actually liked raising steam. Glad moist got one more outing. Unseen Academicals however was a bit different in my mind though.

I just finished today on the train, ironically. My problem is it just goes extremely well throughout and there's no real problems - even when people die!
