Get Better Soon. From Alzheimer's?

Author Terry Pratchett is suffering from a rare form of early Alzheimer's disease, it has been revealed.


I should make a joke here about having spotted this coming, how he repeated himself with Lords and Ladies/Carpe Jugulum and Going Postal/Making Money, but I just can't.

Here's hoping he's alright. Well, as alright as he can be, anyway.

Sad

Unfortunately, that pretty much sums it up.

Well this is all a bit sucky.

There are some encouraging words from the man himself on the December '07 news page over at Paul Kidby's site though: http://www.paulkidby.com/news/index.html

EA rejected my Celebrity Stalker game idea, too, which is a shame. Online co-op celebrity stalking would have been ace. 8/10 for sure.
