    I have always loved his work and had many a chuckle reading his books. He also held the dubious honour of being the most shoplifted author in the world.
    RIP and thank you Sir Terry Pratchett.

        Started reading the Discworld books when I was too young but loved every page and still do. Such a loss. RIP Sir Terry, may you walk at peace in Death's garden, tend the bees and shoot the breeze with Albert

                He wrote the stories I wish I had been good enough to write. A tragic loss to literature.

                      What a tragedy that the funniest, wittiest and most perceptive mind ever to put 'pen to paper' was afflicted with such a cruel disease. Nobody could ask for a more enduring legacy, though. Thanks, Terry and RIP.
