Did he take his own way out, or was it something else?
Vale, Sir Terry.
We're taking a moment ... and we're done.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Oh, man. I've only read Good Omens, and always meant to jump into the Discworld books.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
STEPH.
You have so much wonderfulness ahead of you. My first was Lords and Ladies, but there are plenty of good entry points.
I'm still numb over here, trying to get to work. I just got a four-month rejection and it barely did anything to me since I'm already down in a hole.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
The official announcement tweet is pretty good.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I remember reading the first of the Discworld books when it first came out, but never went any further with them. I do, however, have a stack of them at home that were freecycled in my building (we have a shelf and people leave stuff there for anyone who wants it).

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Well, that sucks. RIP Sir Terry.
The first couple of Discworld books aren't as good as what follows. The nice thing about the series is that there are so many threads that you can follow.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Dammit. I'm heartbroken. Such a wonderful, smart, human writer.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I have only read a couple of the Discworld books. I need to rectify that. He was much younger than I thought he was, younger than my mother.

I hope Jilli's okay.
