Terry Pratchett Tribute Added to Elite - Dangerous.

 

[Sister Jennifer]

Step back in time and try the earlier novels as well, The Carpet People, Strata and Dark Side of the Sun. They are not to everyone's taste but I like them and a thorough re-read should include them

Cor, I'm reading Strata then Dark Side Of The Sun. I never started DW in the right order so I might give that a go next.

I was thinking about the multiverse. Somewhere Terry, Josh Kirby and even Douglas Adams are still having a laugh.

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

I liked Strata made me laugh you can see some Discworld humour in it, and Dark Side of the Sun is a fun read more tech SF in tone.

This song has made me cry....

I love this song! I can't wait for The Shepherd's Crown to come out.

I was really chuffed to hear from my son that the library at his secondary school had posted up memorial posters for STP. Well done the school librarian for helping another generation to 'find' Terry Pratchett.

There's no poster at Hannah's school.....so she has spent the evening designing one on the computer and says she's taking it in to the school library on Monday to see if she can put it up......and she's not taking no for an answer!

 

[Bouncy Castle]

You go, Hannah! :clap:

 

[The Mad Collector]

Good on you Hannah

 

[jaznbonnie]

I like the way Hannah thinks!

 

[janet]

Good work Hannah. I hope your dad will post a photo of your poster here because I'm sure I'm not the only one who would love to see it.

 

[Penfold]

Same here!

Gods damnit, every time i come to this thread i tear up.

Tell me, do any of you have any guesses as to what young sam would have grown up to be had Terry not passed on and continued to write for many more years? I cant help but feel a lack of closure on the issue... In fact i feel this way about nearly all of Terry's characters despite each book ending cleanly and without cliffhangers.

Ah.. I know why i feel this way, Of course i do, Im realising that there will no longer be any new discworld books after the shepheards crown written by Terry himself.

Thanks for all the links and information you guys keep posting, i appreciate it!
