About Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett is one of the most popular authors writing today. He lives behind a keyboard in Wiltshire and says he 'doesn't want to get a life, because it feels as though he's trying to lead three already'. He was appointed OBE in 1998. He is the author of the phenomenally successful Discworld series and his trilogy for young readers, The Bromeliad, is scheduled to be adapted into a spectacular animated movie. His first Discworld novel for children, THE AMAZING MAURICE AND HIS EDUCATED RODENTS, was awarded the 2001 Carnegie Medal.

Terry Pratchett recommends

Wasp (1957) Eric Frank Russell "I'd have given anything to have written Wasp. I can't imagine a funnier terrorists' handbook."	The Leaky Establishment (1984) David Langford "I'd rank this book alongside Michael Frayn's The Tin Men, another neglected classic. I've wanted for years to see it back in print. It is one of those books you end up buying several copies of, because you just have to lend it to friends. It's very funny. It's very real. "	The Sky Lords (1988) (Sky Lords, book 1) John Brosnan "Ideas explode in all directions. This is genuine gosh-wow stuff, the sf ideas packed in so tight it's standing room only. We all ought to grow up reading this sort of thing ; it's aerobics for the imagination."
The Eyre Affair (2001) (Thursday Next, book 1) Jasper Fforde "Ingenious. I shall watch Jasper Fforde nervously."	Guts: A Comedy of Manners (2001) John Grant and David Langford "Dave Langford: Wit, slightly deaf person, raconteur and finest swordsman in all of christendom."	Coraline (2002) Neil Gaiman "It has the delicate horror of the finest fairy tales, and it is a masterpiece. "
When the People Fell (2007) Cordwainer Smith "Read this. Cordwainer Smith is timeless."
