R.I. P. Terry Pratchett
#1
I'm not quite what you would call a "Science Fiction/Fantasy" fan.
On the contrary: I never was and I'll never be.
But with my sometimes strong aversions I customarily do make exceptions.
Aside Douglas Adams , Terry Pratchett was one of them here.
For their ways of making you grin or smile while reading.
Especially sad news that such a person got caught by a severe variation of "Alzheimer".

His clever take on the world always made me smile, and often made me laugh out loud. I am sorry for his passing.

Sadly I have never read any of his books, although I have seen some model figures based on his characters. Apparently 'the traveler' or something like that bears an uncanny likeness to a well know artist!

One of the highlights of the last RAT conference in Regensburg was a trip to a Terry Pratchett themed restaurant!
