[ OT ] I 'd like to take a moment to appreciate Sir Terry Pratchett .

Terry Pratchett wrote stories that have consistently entertained me every time I turn to them from 5 through to 23. I believe his stories ( and likely those future ones by his daughter too, who said she'll continue the series in an interview a while back I vaguely recall ) will also continue to entertain me for the rest of my life. I LEARNT HOW TO READ by reading the Colour of Magic over and over and getting help off my dad to read it over time. 
 
 *no other writer on this planet has managed to capture my full and undivided attention and adoration for this long* 
 
 It saddens me that he has departed from this world, but he had an illness that was incurable and even he openly stated that he felt that if his mind fails beyond repair he would prefer death's embrace. 
 
 I respect his decision. 
 
 However, nobbut stops me mourning the man who inspired me the most to write for pleasure, and be unafraid of injecting comedy into my life, of making horrible puns, and being unafraid to admit that I will always love the fantasy genre. 
 
 There's still books of his I have n't read. I will get to them one day. 
 
 I want to write a snippet about him finally meeting Death in person and they have a exchange, not with words, but a respectful nod at some point now, but now is not the time to write that. 
 
 What else can be said but... 
 
 AU REVOIR
