As many of you know, Terry Pratchett has been diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's Disease. Click here to read the speech Terry made to the Alzheimer's Research Trust Conference in the UK earlier this year, where he donated $1 million to aid Alzheimer's research. See the video of the speech here.

Welcome to the Discworld. It started out as a parody of all the fantasy that was around in the big boom of the early '80s, then turned into a satire on just about everything, and even I don't know what it is now. I do know that in that time there's been at least four people promoted as "new Terry Pratchetts" so for all I know I may not even still be me.

And welcome to this spanking new page that those nice people at HarperCollins, at great expense, wear and tear on keyboards, etc., have produced. Wow! There may even be bits that flash on and off! At the very least, you should thank them by buying their books!

On Discworld semaphore communication is still the fastest thing around (if you're not a wizard) and that makes the modems run very slowly.

And now . . . have fun . . .

Now Available! The Discworld Graphic Novels presents the very first two volumes of this much-loved series in graphic novel form. First published fifteen years ago, these fully illustrated versions are now issued for the first time in hardback. Introduced here are the bizarre misadventures of Twoflower, the Discworld's first ever tourist, and possibly-portentously-its last, and his guide Rincewind, the spectacularly inept wizard. Not to mention the Luggage, which has a mind of its own.

With witty commentary and sagacious observations culled from all the Discworld novels, The Wit and Wisdom of Discworld confirms Pratchett's place in the pantheon of great satirists and proves why the Chicago Tribune has praised his Discworld as "entertaining and gloriously funny ... an accomplishment nothing short of magical."
