His Books are great.

He is just a genius.

He could talk about Bread and it would be funny ^^

I'm asking all of PTerry's fans out there to go to the website - Match It For Pratchett - to help raise 11 million for Alzheimers research.

PTerry gave 500,000GBP - if we all just donated 1GBP or roughly 2USD, we could get to the 11 million mark!

Please help. It's a decent way to honor the man!

@Jeroic9 Oh right! Thank you! Love that sentiment. Saw a Neil Gaiman quote the other day with similar approach:

"There are better writers than me out there, there are smarter writers, there are people who can plot better - there are all those kinds of things, but there’s nobody who can write a Neil Gaiman story like I can."

There's a lot more to that quote but couldn't post all due to character limit but if you Google "Nerdist Podcast #106: NEIL GAIMAN" you can listen to full.

Thanks again :)

@cordeliaistheone Make certain you get born me. He's saying the only way to write books the way he does is to be him. It's a bit of a joke on how you can only write what you know, and his background is what caused him to be the sort of person who could come up with Discworld.

What is that woman doing with that thing on her back! He's funny. I didn't like the book he did called winter smith but that's the only one.

ich spreche deutsche auch. es ist ein gross sprache.

[cordeliaistheone]

So brilliant.

Though I couldn't understand what he said at about 4:22 - "basically make certain you get... bore me"?

If someone could let me know that would be great!

And thank you @Nirneve for uploading :)
