Haven't read a Pratchett book in years and years but he was, ultimately, pretty integral to who I am as a person. I'm fairly sure a lot of my moral instincts come from his books. I wept so so much the day he died, I remember just sitting at my desk in my job at the time and I was shattered. He was diagnosed near the end of my adolescence and he died just before I transitioned and started to unfuck my life a bit. I miss him. I guess this is my way of saying - what should I reread? I've reread my favourites so much over the years I don't quite know what the revisit, and I'm terrified they won't hold up to my memories.

I had always assumed that Rob was doing a lot to help him over the line at the end. One thing I do remember is that at some point the characters stopped sounding like themselves, presumably because it just got harder and harder to hit that consistent character voice, and I suspect that's more true when you have someone acting as amanuensis and live editor or whatnot. I don't mean any shade to Rob over that to be clear. It must have been impossibly hard.

I was a teacher at the time and I just remember hearing after my last lesson of the day and sitting at my desk in the shared staff office sobbing my heart out. GNU Terry Pratchett.
