Folks,
There are times when the phrase “Absolutely, totally, gobsmackingly, mindbogglingly amazed” just doesn’t cover it, but I find that in the Queen’s New Year Honours list I am now a Knight, for services to literature. This means that fans, while not calling me Sir, must now refrain from throwing things. Regrettably, no sword is included in the box :)
What more can a modest Knight say?
Happy New Year, which on Discworld is the Year of the Pensive Hare.
Terry Pratchett
Go here if you want to see where Discworld is made.
Via Pharyngula.
P.S. His new book is called Nation. Follow that link to the Amazon page and there's a video in which Terry describes it. It's not Discworld; it's set in a world remarkably like our own.
