Way-hey! A Terry Pratchett thread!

Now, I fully subscribe to Gaiman's view on the subject of Terry's writing, but the "always improving and evolving" notion is a bit of an oversimplification, really. I, for one, really love the Young adult novels, and sometimes move me emotionally more than a Feet of Clay or a Fifth Elephant. I am a huge fan of his work and collected almost all of his books, but I still like going back to his early writings where language and jokes lead the way. I hope that Pterry lives on to write the fiftieth-sixtieth Discworld book, each becoming more and more gritty (and less over(t)ly giddy =), and maybe more.
