I'm reading the #TerryPratchett biography and #RobWilkins just recounted the time Terry irately walked into a bookstore for a signing, looked at the manager, said:

"Get me a gin and tonic or I will kill you"

And had the drink in hand in 90 seconds.

That's the fuckin energy I want for 2026

Fair to say I rather liked it, and I've already started my first read of Dark Side of the Sun despite owning it since the 1980's

Finished reading Terry Pratchett: A Life With Footnotes, written by Rob Wilkins, who worked in seemingly endless capacities for Sir Terry, on the train home today.

It’s a really well-written biography - it’s fascinating, consistently well-paced, and has the perfect balance of fact and anecdote and hits the tone spot on.

Naturally, it gets sad later on. I’m not someone who cries at books, but this might be the closest.
