He was such a great author, so funny and sharp. I love his books and am sad he left us at a relatively young age.

I like them both quite a bit. Very different books, very different style. The Incarnations of Immortality series was pretty damned solid. Some of Anthony's best work, and on par with the Discworld books. To each his own, I suppose.

I was always a lit snob, and had never read any Terry Pratchett. Then, as I was recovering from my foot thing, an ex came to visit and dropped off the 4 books in his Tiffany Aching series. Easy to read when you're fucked up, she said, cleverly written, great messages for a kid or really anyone to read.
Couple of months later I ended up in the hospital with appendicitis, and I brought those books with me. They were perfect for me on painkillers, just as she'd said. I still have a warm feeling for those novels, helping me distract myself and feel good again during a really hard time.
Good on him. I'm bummed he's gone so soon, but he sure left a positive mark on the world.
