Re: RIP Terry Pratchett
Far too early. 
And Alzheimers diagnosed aged 58? Didn't know that.

Re: RIP Terry Pratchett
Did he still write then in the last years?

Re: RIP Terry Pratchett
Yeah, he wrote as long as he could. At least until 2012, probably longer.

Re: RIP Terry Pratchett
I just read it, and I´m terribly sad.. although I already knew he was very ill in the last years.
Rest in peace, Sir Terry Pratchett, and thank you for all those wonderful books which will always hold a special place in my heart!

That was a challenge with Alzheimers, I think, depending on his condition.

In later years he would either dictate to his assistant or use voice recording.

Re: RIP Terry Pratchett
I just came across this quote:
I love how he emphazises the "chaotic variety of the human experience" 
but wonder if he adored Holmes or not at all ;-)
