WOW...

There's a surprise....only 66!...

..and I didn't think you could die of; Alzheimer's Disease.

My children loved his books.

My dear old Mum suffered with it at the end of her life, and died naturally at 90 years old.

I just read "The Sea and the Little Fishes", a short story he based in Discworld and published in the old (first) Legendsanthology last week.

Sad to hear it.
I worry that something will happen to Martin, a la Robert Jordan, before he can finish his tome.
Of course I know what he'd say about that:
