Writers who said they love Sir Terry

Postby noelu » Wed Feb 08, 2012 8:32 am

I just read my first Discworld book (Guards! Guards!) and I'm eager to explore more. ;)
I read in an article that said Sir Terry is widely beloved among authors. Who are these authors?
I know the Russian fantasy writer Sergey Lukyanenko and A. S. Byatt said Sir Terry is their favorite.
Have you heard of other writers praising Sir Terry Pratchett? :think:

Well Bernard Cornwell for one. When asked who his favourite character in another series of books is, he said Samuel Vimes. :)

Neil Gaiman probably likes him, since they wrote a book together. Welcome!

Well I couldn't find anything on the internet but I'm sure a lot of writers enjoy reading PTerrys books :D

Kathy Reichs mentions a Pratchett book in one of her novels. ;)

They say Charles Dickens was a big Pratchett fan. Always very ahead of his time was old Chas.

After he read his first Discworld book he said: Please Sir Terry, I want some more! :lol:

Actually the shooting style of Going Postal TV series did remind me of Dickens' stories!

I just read an inverview of Brandon Sanderson during his visit to the Taipei book fair. When asked about other writers' works, he said that Sir Terry always amazes him. ;) Here's his review on Men at Arms: http://www.brandonsanderson.com/article/34/MEN-AT-ARMS-by-Terry-Pratchett

Thanks for kind words, spideyGirl! ;)
But I think that I have to prepare people about my possible (variety!) mistakes! :) And I will be very glad if anyone will correct me. I am not bad at reading in English but writing&speaking is difficult for me so far. ... Sorry for off-topic post. :)
Best regards! :)
