    By far my favorite author. He wrote some of the most complex and insightful characters fiction has ever seen.

    His legacy will continue as long as the written word does. He's one of those authors that leaves a mark that becomes a part of the human condition.

    Well at least I can remember him by reading a shitload of my home library, he is the author or co-author for almost half of them...

    Though to be fair he had some of the most kick ass last words. "At last Sir Terry we must walk together" Terry took Deaths arm and walked through the doors and on to the black desert under the endless night. The End.

    As far as closing lines to a long, wonderful, and interesting story could possibly go, that was perhaps the best.

    Farewell, Mr. Pratchett.
