Re: R.I.P. Terry Pratchett
I want more Discworld, but I don't know if I want it without him. I believe at least one of Pratchett's recent books was a collaboration (can't remember with whom), and I mean aside from "Good Omens" (collaboration with Neil Gaiman), so there MAY be someone who could do a decent job of it.
