Terry Pratchett has AlzheimersFollow

My mother-in-law will be heartbroken :(

Damn you and your signed book! I really, really hope he gets over this, but he at least sounds confident. Also sounds like he`s as quick-witted in person as in print.

I'll match your signed Thud! with a first edition of Guards! Guards! in hardback.

Still, he's the kind of person that will submit himself to experimental treatments, so if there's something out there that can cure him, he'll find it.

Well, at least no-one can complain that Pratchett's writing career was tragically cut short, or that he died before he could satisfy his fans.

Well, that was the obvious author that sprang to my mind, given it was so recent. There was much wailing and nashing of teeth by a multitude of people over the unfinished WOT stuff, even if I personally had given up in disgust with the series already. What I do cry over is never being able to get another Douglas Adams book. If and when Terry Pratchett dies, I'll cry over never getting another book from him, but it's not like I can complain that he wrote so few before he was tragically lost to us. I adore his stuff, and there is a plenitudinous plethora of it already.
