Good look to the man and, hopefully, he will be able to finance/discover something which will help millions of people. Hope he manages to keep the books coming too!

Can't stand Pratchett. Hope he stops writing his rubbish too.

#1. If you met him in person as I did ... you'd soon change your tune! He alienates everyone eventually.

Sorry about the Alzheimers, but he's a self-seeking self-publicist with less talent than he thinks he has!!!

Good author my kids love reading his books. He was quite unnecessarily unkind to JKR though.

#2 Terry Pratchett's books are genius and you are a loathsome cretin.
