Terry Pratchett

Lots of people have written lots of things about Terry Pratchett (not least himself), so I'm not going to do that. This is my little page about me and Terry Pratchett. Not much to it, actually; my brother read his books, so I started too, and I guess that's about it. At the moment I really can't remember why I wanted to write this page, but I'll tell you if it comes back to me.

For the moment, most of the content consists of my collection of Pratchett quotations as well as a few Pratchett-related links:

The trouble with you, Ibid, is that you think you're the biggest bloody authority on everything.

Just because something is a metaphor doesn't mean it can't be real.
