    I'm a big fan of his work too, so it also sucks that his career will be cut short.
  • disingenious, on 12/12/2007, -2/+2Lame plot twist. :(
  • RandomMerryman, on 12/12/2007, -0/+7Maybe Death just wants to OFFER HIM A JOB?
  • aethelberga, on 12/12/2007, -0/+3Sad. I'm a huge fan. He seems pretty chipper for the time being from the article I read, but my thoughts are with him and his family
  • bobsbones, on 12/13/2007, -0/+1That blows. Poor Terry, he's my favourite author. I hope it doesn't mean some romantic-fantasy novelist is going to end up finishing his books for him.
  • jimman51, on 12/13/2007, -0/+1Hey it is early Alzheimer's - he can write lots more yet - he might just duplicate the plot every now and then
