“The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.”
~ Terry Pratchett

@dgar holy shit I was just thinking about this quote yesterday, #dgar in my search history 👻

@dgar
I miss Sir Terry So Hard
At work at the library yesterday and saw a guy looking at kids books like he wasn't sure what he was looking for so asked if I could help

He sd he was a teacher, just looking for fun books for kids. I sent him away with The Carpet People & Lemony Snicket #FTW

@PeachMcD @dgar
As a Child i read The Carpet People from our local library when it first came out.
Years later I rang the library to ask the author as I couldn't remember. The librarian got very excited saying of course we had the book because at that time Sir Terry LIVED IN OUR VILLAGE.
The first two discworld books had just been published so I rushed out and bought them.
Been a huge fan ever since.
@Sarahw @dgar
Have you read his authorized biography? It's a true gem for anyone who loves Pratchett's work

@PeachMcD @dgar
No I haven't, I must look out for it. I imagine it's a real treat. Maybe he'll mention our village!
@dgar Terry Pratchett was such a hero.
@dgar is that Terry Pratchett? He looks exactly like how I thought he would. (awesomely fantastic)
