RIP Terry Pratchett, Fantasy Author, Knight of the Realm, 66
« on: March 13, 2015, 12:23:31 PM »
I wasn't a huge fan, I like my fantasy a little more serious in nature (he wrote satiric, whimsical fantasy - and lots of it), but I did respect his inventiveness and good humor.  He'd probably be a lot more fun to have a beer with than would someone like GRR Martin.  His books were likable even though they weren't exactly to my taste (I've read maybe 6 or 7).

Anyway, a great loss for the fantasy literature world.
