Fucking hell. We knew it was coming, but.
We did. It didn't make it much easier to read. But maybe a little. Except, no. I hate to think of him suffering but I hate the world without him.
Well, if we followed the recipe...should be cake. A demon-violence-free-zone cake.

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."

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I've always been vaguely convinced it would be Gneil's Death who picked up Pterry, and vicey-versey.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Mental image perfection. I imagine Gaiman will have THINGS TO SAY to Death; whereas after the monstrous cruelty of such a brain as Pratchett's being subjected to Alzheimer's disease, a friendlier face might be just the thing. She will, I think, have some idea how much he will be missed by her progenitor and the rest of the world.

A number of Terry Pratchett's books are on sale in Kindle format at Amazon. They're $3.99 per which, while not a super discount, is less than half the print price. See: [link]

And of course it's the ones I already have in print.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I wonder how much an omnibus version of his ebooks would cost? Someone should make that happen.

There's an ebook omnibus of the Tiffany Aching novels for $29.99. I'll probably end up buying it at some point.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I finished War and Peace last night, after I took a break to re-read Pyramids, Small Gods, & The Last Hero.

I've re-read Equal Rites, Wyrd Sisters, Witches Abroad, Lords and Ladies, and I started Maskerade last night. I need to re-read the witches books before I loan them to the StuntHusband on Tuesday.

I think it's time for a re-read of Jingo. Vimes at his best. Fifth Elephant should be around here somewhere, too. Lady Sibyl stopping a fight with the power of opera.
