British fantasy author Terry Pratchett has died aged 66 after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease, his publisher said today. This is a breaking news story.

A wonderful fantasy author and creative genius, best known for his 'Discworld' series of about 40 volumes.

He was my all-time favourite author. A wonderful man who taught me (and I'm sure, many others) the importance of laughter, and of making other people laugh.

Rest in peace.

"It is often said that before you die your life passes before your eyes. It is in fact true. It's called living."

[member="Jenna Rayley"] Very true - had some brilliant books and a real magical mind, and inspired one of my favourite PC point-and-click games 'Discworld'. His help to bring Alzheimer's disease into the public light was very honourable.

Nice quote too, very apt from the great man.

Sad day!

Probably the defining books of my childhood from 1994-1998

I truly loved his personification of death.....brilliant man.

Terrible news. He was a great author. And like [member="Connor Harrison"] I loved the Discworld adventure games.
