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

A sad, sad day for the world of fantasy literature. 
 A sad, sad day for me. 
 
 I only started reading Terry Pratchett's books about 2 years ago, and I have read far from all of them, but the ones I read were absolutely stunning. One of the greatest authors of our time. 
 He had not only an imagination bordering on the unimaginable, but he also looked at our world, the `` real'' world with such a discerning eye that even though Discworld was as strange a world that a human being could create, it was so immersive and reminiscient of our own world that the only way to describe it is `` Magic''. 
 
 More than an author, for me he was a philosopher. We can learn a lot from his works, because pure humour and fantasy does n't describe it appropriately.
