Terry Pratchett IS shit.
He's not fading because he's a FUCKING CUNT, though - that's merely coinicidence. I've got into terrible trouble with the 'Simpsons Tie/Iron Maiden Brigade' on here for saying so, but he' an appalling author and I don't care if he has Alzheimer's one fucking bit.

I loved the Truckers and Diggers books when I was a kid but never liked his stuff after that.
I saw a documentary on him and his alzheimers and he came across as such a nice chap. You shouldn't wish someone dead because you don't like their material. However it also pisses me off when someone dies who was mediocre at something gets lauded as epic.

I'm sorry a fellow human being is suffering from a horrible condition.
But I am not one bit MORE sorry it's Terry Pratchett, than I am about another poor sod that I don't know at all, who also has it.

Thats what I meant. In a more long winded shitter way.

I have avoided his books due to the brigade you mention - but he has raised the profile of Alzheimers which has to be a good thing

I like the books
although I've liked the earlier ones less as I've grown up somewhat.

The latest stuff is really very good. Much better than the old stuff and if it were all like that then the brigade you speak of wouldn't be interested.
