Terry Pratchett to receive knighthood at Buckingham Palace

[Lowkeylie]

Pratchett-the only man in London today that after getting a knighthood goes and makes his own sword.

@bofboy101 - Sir Terry Pratchett is still the most shoplifted author in the UK. Let's see JK Rowling top that!

I'v never read a books quite like Sir Terrys, they are simply the greatest books i have ever read and I dread to think of what I will read when he is gone. It shocked and saddened me when I heard the news and when I read his speech on Dying with Dignity I cried. He is a wonderful man.

Second to JK ..what a joke. I've read all of her books as well; they're good once. Read all of Sir Terrys at least twice over.

He wasn't talking about quality but about sales.

@HenrikOlsen

Well, for me quality book (in the area of fiction) is the one which amuses me and makes me to read it again and again. If this is the case I buy other books by the same author. Therefore sales and quality are not necessarily contradictive.

Im glad hes getting some sort of recognition for his efforts.

I was so upset for him when I heard the news about his diagnosis, but if anyone can manage to improve awareness, he will Im sure.
