Never mind bringing back the knob Clarkson, this is a petition worth signing.

Very sad, an author in the vein of other great British authors such as Tom Sharpe who have ability to make you think yet still laugh out loud. I remember him embracing the Internet some years ago vie Usenet and the alt.fan.pratchett group. He'll be sorely missed but has left a great legacy.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

Not read anything by him but he seems like he was a genuinely lovely person. Although I do intend to read the Discworld novels at some point.Comment

Mudskipper, start with the Rincewind books, the Colour of Magic was the first of his Discworld ones.Originally posted by cojak View PostI found this - a smashing way to see his Discworld books.
They do have a rough timeline as per the graphic, but don't get too bothered by that. You don't have to have read the previous ones to enjoy the others, most are free standing stories but using a common world and some shared characters.Comment
