A long time ago now I made a post about how I went looking for my copy of carpe jugulum and in the back of the wardrobe came across a copy of "The Sword of Shannara" by Terry Brooks,the post can be read here: http://www.terrypratchett.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1406&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
My mother has explained to me how it ended up there,many years ago before she met my dad she was engaged to a magician who fell ill with lymphoma.Apparently the night he died he sent her to the bookshop to buy it for him but when she got back he was too weak to read it.He was an avid fantasy reader and died just a year after TCOM was published,I'm sure if he'd survived he would have been a Pratchett fan.
At some point in the future I plan to put the book on his grave.
