In an interview on BBC Radio 4 (The Museum Of Curiosity) Terry Pratchett said, (as best I can remember) “When it comes to the universe, it is humanity’s job to look at it and tell it what it is.” I have never been able to stop thinking about that, ever since. It has served as an inspiration, which turned me into a writer. Well, I guess the reading public will decide if that’s the case, when I produce something? But, that single sentiment; that incredibly deep, constantly reinterpretable (👈 yes, I invented a word. What of it?) incite, is what made me start writing. That is a debt I owe, to a man I never met, who’s power over the art form, could transform the life of a stranger. His genius will be forever underrated, since he poured it so generously into comedy, which has always been the poor relation (along with Si Fi and Fantasy) to what we think of as great, “Literature.” He was among the absolute greatest. I sincerely hope you do more adaptations? It occurs to me that the ongoing adventures of Captain Vimes would be perfect for you guys? And that, (perhaps?) Mr Gaiman might be willing to contribute to the adaptations? At least, insofar as rounding out the series and bringing his tale to a conclusion for your series? If you had a success with Good Omens, you will find an army of hungry fans who would flock to the banner of Captain Vimes, ready made, who would attract many others with them. Before you know it, you’ll have a major franchise to rival the Harry Potter series. I don’t doubt it. Thanks for Good Omens

“Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life.” - Terry Pratchett, Jingo.

Despite being a life long SciFi and Fantasy fan, I didnt hear about Terry Pratchett until a week or so before he passed. I found the first discworld book by pure chance in a little library station and loved it. I wish I heard about him sooner, but I'm so happy to have heard of him at all and be able to have included his work in my library.

I discovered Terry Pratchett some years ago, but quite by accident. You see, I remembered reading a book about an enormous structure erected about a star at roughly Earth-orbit called Ringworld ('twas Larry Niven) and I was looking for it at a library. Instead, I discovered a few books mentioning Discworld and, confused I guess, checked them out. I quickly discovered the difference between Ringworld and Discworld, and have since read every Pratchett book I could lay my hands on. I've purchased every Discworld fiction book; I don't have the "science of Discworld" books and I'm sure I'm missing some other fan fodder, but the books! From The Colour of Magic to The Shepherd's Crown (which I really think is the best one of all), I cherish them all.

I don't know the last time I had seen such an amazing and accurate or as Neil Gaiman says not so accurate adaptation of a book and enjoyed it so thoroughly..and having read the book and terry's works it really it feel like something he wud write.I have seen the series about 3 times already and will surely see it many more times.

Now I want to hear the Amazing Maurice audio drama with David Tennant.

I miss Terry Pratchett

I can't believe it's been four years since we lost him. The world got significantly worse when he left it. I miss him so much 😢

I miss Terrys books:( My favorite writer. Excellent humor and skeptical world view. One of my favorite quotes must be: “That’s what the gods are! An answer that will do! Because there’s food to be caught and babies to be born and life to be lived and so there is no time for big, complicated, and worrying answers! Please give us a simple answer, so that we don’t have to think, because if we think, we might find answers that don’t fit the way we want the world to be.”

And at their core, every single one of his books was filled with optimism for the human condition. In every one, the main story was that of someone figuring out who they truly are and embracing it.

Terry deserved to live so much longer. Rest in peace, Terry Pratchett. This world will not forget you.

Be a Terry!

Terry Pratchett is missed and celebrated

I like Rob, was fortunate enough to be one of those in a book signing - in a small book shop in Durham - for a humanist it was sort of ironic that it was the SPCK bookshop - I had my two minutes with the great man he signed a quote for me and also The Colour of Magic, I have a signed copy of Good Omens that a friend got for me and I am eternally greatful to Sir pTerry. I have been a fan since about the time of the release of Pyramids, and had many opportunities to discuss things in alt.fan.pratchett with him, back before the WWW was even a thing..., he and CMOT Briggs graciously let me use the Discworld as a theme for an activity hike I was doing for the local Scouts... I proudly have my BF, and my UU scarf tucked away in the loft. I had one last chance to see Sir Terry talk at a literary festival at Ely which was both joyous and sad because you saw glimpses of the genius between moments of the embuggerance. Rob held everything together and to him I am also eternally greatful without him, we may not have had quite as many of Terry's books.

I was a Neil Gaiman fan first, having been introduced to him via the Sandman series. But I was working in a bookstore, stocking my favorite section (Sci-fi and fantasy) and I ran across this gem of a book called Good Omens. I was unfamiliar with Terry Pratchett, though we stoked many of his books. After reading Good Omens, I wanted to know who the heck he was and started reading the Discworld series. From my perspective, Good Omens is one of my all-time favorite collaborations.

I'm not crying.

So beautiful! A worthy tribute 🦆

Neil and Rob sitting together remind me so much of Aziraphel and Crawley. Heck, they reminded me those good old times at the official Discworld IRC, Terry used to log on and boy it was a hell of a time. Terry is deeply missed. HE was a true gem with his public and fans and a wonderful writer.

The aesthetic of the show is just perfect

I may be crying.

GNU Terry Pratchett.

I absolutely LOVE this!!! My heart ❤️

This show is superb! (and so it's the book, the actors, the visual effects, the music, the landscapes, Neil & Terry, Michael & David, everything! While watching the wonderful final scene I thought, he would have absolutly loved it)

Wonderful. Thank you. I got a little teary eyed from this and I loved it. Cheers!

Have you ever seen the original author photos on the back o the book (I don't know if recent editions have it)? That has always fed the same impression for me.

Wow, I have never seen anything do beautiful. But wouldn't it be so amazing if he actually did see this, and see his creation truly come to life? Even thought of that makes it that little bit more special.

I really do think this might be the greatest adaption of tv/film from a book. Its fits so much, that it really feels perfect. The book, if I could describe in one word, it'd be "lovely". Thats what it is, its just. Lovely. And the show, my god, it is so lovely.

I'm crying everything related to Good Omens is so pure and beautiful. Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman's minds. Neil's tribute to his friend. His interactions with fans. The story. The show. The fantastic cast. Everyone is so nice and lovable. I've never read the book, I just watched the show because it was so hyped and it had bloody David Tennant and Michael Sheen but the more I learn the more I realize that, truly, there isn't a single bad or malicious thing or person about it, at all. That's a rare thing

Im literaly criying after watching this video, theres something about neil speaking so fondly about a lost friend that just brings the tears, Terry was a genius we were so lucky that him let us theres small pieces of his mind that are his books so we can agree, disagree, debate, cry and laugh about it.

I never knew Sir Terry Pratchett before this book, but he wrote this with Neil Gaiman and he did it as Terry’s death wish. Now I wish I had known sooner who they both were; This book was absolutely wonderful, even the show, my absolute favorite. Wherever Sir Terry may be I hope he’s happy and at peace.

Terry would have (probably watching from Discworld) loved it. I can't stop watching it over and over.

More please

It's a sign of a good series that I can still read any Discworld novel, lose myself in it and laugh; despite the fact that who I consider to be the greatest fantasy author to have lived is no longer with us.

Sir Pterry would have loved it!!! Well done, all!!! ❤❤❤

GNU, Sir Terry

My first TP book was The Light fantastic. An odd choice, considering it was the second half of The Colour Of Magic. And so from 1989 onwards, I'd borrow the hard back from the library, and buy the paperback. Sad when that ended. There was hundreds of characters, everyone of them well defined, and all with subtle nuances. However, my favourite are The Watch series. GNU Sir Terry.

2015 was a bad year. Terry died, and I felt like I lost an uncle...And then my dad died like a month later. I loved the Good Omens adaptation.

I am still hoping Wee Free Men gets made as announced, and that it will be a worthy adaptation.
