Oh Dear

I wish I could think of a differnet title for this that the man would approve of, but I can’t.

It’s been revelaed that Terry Pratchett has been diagnosed with “rare form of early Alzheimer’s disease”.

Fortuntaley he seems pretty upbeat about the whole thing… “I will, of course, be dead at some future point, as will everybody else. For me, this maybe further off than you think.”

He’s still planning to work on at least a couple more books, but it’s still hugely sad news to know his genius brain is going to slowly waste away…
