I definitely had numerous "lol" experiences with them. Another good one was his collaboration with Niel Gaiman (sp?) - Good Omens, it's called. Mind you, these were read about a dozen years ago so perhaps my tastes have changed, but I doubt that - witty writing will remain witty.Alladin the Paladinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04511944547698978283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125294933155144215.post-6968120993165431202015-04-08T11:19:06.996+01:002015-04-08T11:19:06.996+01:00I think I've read about four, in truth I was m...I think I've read about four, in truth I was more a fan of David Eddings and David Gemmell but when I read Pyramids I think it was the first time ever I 'laughed out loud' reading a book, and that was before loling was a thing!40kaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12763647828123242837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125294933155144215.post-34935290011635398962015-04-08T08:23:47.110+01:002015-04-08T08:23:47.110+01:00I still remember the furore in the Harr Potter com...I still remember the furore in the Harr Potter community when he said if JK Rowling didn't think she was writing a fantasy book, what with the wizards, trolls, ghosts and magic creatures then she was deluding herself. All these self righteous tweens getting their knickers in a twist, claiming he was jealous and 'who was he anyway'?

That's unfortunate, to lose such a great mind. I will definitely be picking up some of his books and giving them a read in honour of his passing.<br /><br />Alzheimer's is a terrible disease (there is a family history of it on my wife's side).Alladin the Paladinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04511944547698978283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125294933155144215.post-40276869941681158952015-04-07T12:56:38.351+01:002015-04-07T12:56:38.351+01:00Thank you Dave!
