For most of us.

judi-hench.bsky.social•68 days ago

Same. But also Bunny Roger

theweind.bsky.social•68 days ago

He’s mine too.

denise-f.bsky.social•67 days ago

Me too. Do you think he's still being read by younger people? I tried to get my adult kids into him but it hasn't happened.

sarynr.bsky.social•67 days ago

My kiddos enjoy the Tiffany Aching Series

denise-f.bsky.social•67 days ago

It seems my grandkids, who do read quite a bit, are in a different world than Terry and me. Maybe when they're older.

thunderbuck.bsky.social•67 days ago

You have great taste

deviantinc.bsky.social•68 days ago

Second one in my timeline. I clearly follow the right people 😁

devilishlydo.bsky.social•68 days ago

Most of my heroes are dead, so there ain't no way I can choose just one.

harry-is-human.bsky.social•68 days ago

I have the xkcd from the week he died framed on my wall.

darlingdybbuk.bsky.social•68 days ago

You’re not supposed to make me tear up on Christmas Eve dammit.

When I read that comic, I said, who is this author that everybody loves? I should find out.

I went to a used book store & came home with Thief of Time and Going Postal … and then I understood.

richieryan.bsky.social•67 days ago

Very good choice. I wish I had discovered him earlier.

marag.bsky.social•68 days ago

Wait, there are people whose emotional support dead guy *isn't* Terry Pratchett? Why?

(Okay, Fred Rogers is also acceptable. Possibly also Steve Irwin if you're really an outdoorsy person.)

rebekahwriter.bsky.social•67 days ago

Mine is George Carlin. Or Robin Williams.

anniethenigma.bsky.social•67 days ago

I'd also add Bill Hicks to your two Rebekah

Terry was a mate I drank with since back when he was still poor, which isn't quite the same thing.

Mine is the person I nearly met but he passed before he was this side of the pond again...

Always...

nebelheber.bsky.social•68 days ago

Yes. No one like him, never was, never will be.

gilderthorpe.bsky.social•68 days ago

Currently rereading Men at Arms. I cannot believe how relevant this book is.

siegegangcommander.bsky.social•68 days ago

Oof, yeah, I just finally read The Shepard’s Crown, and it’s going to be a while before I reread that one.

We just finished watching the BBC Hogfather special, which is the capstone of our household canon.

craigfranson.bsky.social•68 days ago

Best choice.

There's enough philosophy in the hardback section of my discworld collection alone to cast a reflection on the state of this world. Every current roundworld "journalist" should be forced by law to read The Truth.
