esemeToday, I am thankful for Terry Pratchett and his wonderful writing ability.
I am a good hundred pages from the end of his latest book, Unseen Academicals and I am starting to slow down, because it will be over soon and I want to make the book last. He's just such a brilliant writer - he plays with grammar and language in very clever ways, every scene has at least one (if not many more) line of dialogue which makes you smaile or chuckle, and his observations on human nature are spot on.
Terry Pratchett - guilty of literature.
And if you haven't grabbed his latest from your book store or library, run out and do so! Ankh Morpork has its first high fashion supermodel, grapples with the age-old tradition of foote-the-ball, discovers the value of good pie, and, as always, contemplates what it is to be human.
