'I know about sureness,' said Didactylos. Now the light irascible tone had drained out of his voice. 'I remember before I was blind, I went to Omnia once. This was before the borders were closed, when you still let people travel. And in your Citadel I saw a crowd stoning a man to death in a pit. Ever seen that?'
'It has to be done,' Brutha mumbled. 'So the soul can be shriven and — '
'Don't know about soul. Never been that kind of a philosopher,' said Didactylos. 'All I know is, it was a horrible sight.'
'The state of the body is not — '
'Oh, I'm not talking about the poor bugger in the pit,' said the philosopher. 'I'm talking about the people throwing the stones. They were sure all right. They were sure it wasn't them in the pit. You could see it in their faces. So glad that it wasn't them that they were throwing just as hard as they could.'
TL;DR. Well, your loss! Even if he didn't write anything but "Small gods", it would still be a great writing carrier.

Next to the ever classic Alice In Wonderland, Small Gods has to be my favorite book of all time.
Terry Pratchett is beyond a God among men.

Ah, the ability to not care about what happens to great authors. Being an uncultured swine is great.

National ******* Treasure
Do you know how badass this man is? When he was Knighted by the Queen, he didnt ponce around getting people to call him Sir Terry. ************ went and dug up meteorites containing iron. He extracted and smelted that iron and forged his own sword. For what is a Knight without his sword. And if you're gonna have a ******* sword, Thunderbolt Iron is obviously the way to go.
Pic related. The very blade.

So glad there's other people on FJ who like Discworld, personally my favorites is the Sam Vines series, it's just too good. Truly a perfect mix of philosophical and comedic content in his books.
