But I don't want it to be true.
I'm not looking forward to the day when I have to stop waiting for his next book to come out. I'll miss that feeling: it has been a small but persistent part of me for many years.

I started reading his discworld books from day 1 and look forward to reading the rest of his books when they appear.
