IN MEMORIAM OF SIR TERRY PRATCHETT (Repost Courtesy of 'Keep Turning Pages')

Sir Terry Pratchett

1948 - 2015
It is with immeasurable sadness that we announce that author Sir Terry Pratchett has died of natural causes at his home in Wiltshire. He was 66.
In over 70 books, Terry enriched the planet like few before him. As all who read him know, Discworld was his vehicle to satirize this world: he did so brilliantly, with great skill, enormous humor and constant invention.
Doubleday has had the privilege of publishing four of his recent books in hardcover, including A Blink of the Screen: Collected Shorter Fiction, to be released this week.
