OMG! Greetings from a fellow Pratchett fan. How I wish I could be there…

I love Terry Pratchett. I got a chance to meet him in New York a few years ago and naturally made a fool out of myself by telling him that I’d started reading his books by reading those that were in my mother’s collection, which he took as me saying that he was old. Of course, I’m sure he was just playfully joking about it, but still…

He was an excellent speaker and very clever (of course). This was when Thud! was just coming out, but a lot of the discussion was the future of Granny Weatherwax and Tiffany Aching. It was great fun for all… I just wish I had chosen my words a little more carefully. I guess being in the presence of one of your idols can be a little flustering.

Sir Terry was a guest at the SFX Weekender in the UK. His talk with Stephen Baxter was about his new book idea and was very interesting. He also cheekily let slip that Good Omens is being adapted for TV, I can’t wait for that one.

I can’t imagine what a Discworld convention would be like, but it surely must be a lot of fun!

I finally got around to reading the first two Rincewind novels a month or so ago. I have to say I was always anxious to learn more of the Luggage.

I just wish it would eat anyone that annoyed me.

I believe DOSBox can be used to get both games running on new computers.

One of my guildies is part of the organising committee for the Australian Discworld convention. I felt that his comment about having to miss one of our Thursday raid nights because he was taking Sir Terry out to dinner was the best of all possible excuses.

I really hope the stars align for you. It would be fantastic to see Sir Terry. Probably the only chance you will ever have. What a brilliant mind he has. And did you read his most recent book?. All the stuff of life was there. They are getting deeper. I hope he gets to say all that he wants to before he leaves us. I for one will read every word.

Oh you lucky bear! Sir Terry Pratchett is one of my favourite authors… Granny Weatherwax is my true hero. Makes me wish I could play my old copy of the two discworld pc games that I have but my computer is too advanced to run them. :) I wish I could go but maybe will check out if he plans on spending some time in my neck of the woods.
