“DON'T THINK OF IT AS DYING, said Death.

[woohoo]

So what were his books about?, I always had him as a poor mans Tolkien who just kept pumping out books.

I don't think you can compare them really, different types of book, apart from the odd elf or dwarf. I don't think Pratchett wrote about hobbits or a ring. Less singing to. He also had an ape that was a librarian, Tolkien missed a trick there.

I can't be the only one that skipped the singing bits in Lord of the Rings.

“I'll be more enthusiastic about encouraging thinking outside the box when there's evidence of any thinking going on inside it.”

The closest I can think of is if Douglas Adams wrote fantasy. Nothing like Tolkein.

But you're just trolling anyway.

So unless you love Terry Pratchett you are trolling???

I was right then, sounds awful and not funny.

It's better than it sounds. He had a lovely way with language. He got it wrong a few times but was also great at poking fun at stereotypes.
Does anyone remember the burning wheel rolling out of the (horse-drawn) coach crash?

[woohoo]

yes but he did have 'Battle Bread'

Too true but wasn't the battle bread wielded rather than eaten?

Battle Bread, hovis have missed a trick there to.

No!!

Very upset to hear this. Terry Pratchett has been a constant companion through most of my adult life.

V sad
