Just been announced...Terry Pratchett Author has died at the age of 66
Hmmm, first time I've been glad not to be Terry Pratchett. I'd be dead by now,
well, some years ago.
.....Very Sad news.
Yes.
And yet, he was so prolific that I suspect most folks could just read/reread
forever ...
I'm a fan, but only need a dose now and then. If I read several in a row, they
all start to sound the same.
My dad was a reader of mystery, spy and thriller novels of certain sorts. He had built up his favorites over the years.
They filled one bookcase, double stacked. He started at one end and read through, then started again. When I was young,
I figured I'd end up doing something similar. Then one day, I realized I was already well past the age where he was set
in his reading. Now I'm older than he ever managed, and still reading almost all new (at least to me) stuff.
I guess heredity isn't fate. :-)
