To have cried whilst ordering the last Discworld novel

[ChiefClerkDrumknott]

Because it struck me; this is it, last one, no more, end of the line Ordered the hard cover one with the dust cover, gorgeous. How will I ever live without them?

I believe you aren't properly dead until you're forgotten. Terry wrote such wonderful books, that say important things about what it means to be human, but with a smile and a joke. He will never be forgotten.

Oh God, that's made me cry. No he won't. He'll go down in history and we can always go and visit the Discworld and all those characters again. What a gift he gave us all.

Thanks, CCD, I suppose either way, he knew that his time was limited, which must have influenced his writing. It's very poignant.

And now they've sent me an email to say it'll be released early - so it'll arrive when I'm away on holiday and I won't be able to read it at once Aaaaaarrrrrrrgh.......!!

Just read this for anyone who is concerned about others writing more Pratchett’s Daughter Says No More Discworld Books and That’s OK

Just felt I had to contribute to this thread. The last gift Sir Terry gave to me was the nudge to change my username as tribute to him and I'm delighted with this one. End of an era indeed.

Nanny Ogg - Sam Vimes for me too.

I picture him as looking a bit like Stannis Baratheon in Game of Thrones. But an honourable one who doesn't burn people, obviously!

Night Watch broke my heart a little bit. When you find out why Vetinari wears the lilac.
