Terry Pratchett Diagnosed with Alzheimer’s

Terry Pratchett, has announced that he has been diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s. The OBE-winning author of the Discworld fantasy series made the original announcement on the web site of Discworld illustrator Paul Kidby. Pratchett remains optimistic: I would just like to draw attention to everyone reading the above that this should be interpreted as ‘I am not dead’. I will, of course, be dead at some future point, as will everybody else. For me, this maybe further off than you think — it’s too soon to tell — via Slashdot
