On this day two years ago, the world lost an amazing author, the man who gave us Vimes and Vetinari and Granny Weatherwax, DEATH and Susan and Rincewind and a hundred other characters. His stories illuminated the human condition in a way that both entertained and amazed everyone who read them. They inspired me to write, and I'm sure they did the same for many other people out there.
If you haven't read any of Terry Pratchett's books, today would be a good day to pick one up. I guarantee you won't regret it.
