No way.....
Pratchett? Come on....
How much did you read? (being just curious). Back home I have all his books (except 2 that are still not translated and 2 that I brought overhere). Having what one might consider "good skills" in 3 languages I'm fully aware of the dangers of translation. However, the polish version just rocks. Point. The word puns are in my opinion even better than the original ones. Or maybe the translator did a REALLY good job? Who knows.
Nevertheless, seeing one of the best authors alive to struggle with Alzheimer makes you wonder if God really exists. Or else why would he do something like that?
Hmm... I've read several Pratchett books by now. Monstrous Regiment (natürlich) Wee Free Men (and the sequel), The Last Hero, Going Postal... There are more, but I would have to check my book list to remind myself. I love Terry Pratchett's works!! And I can't believe that he's struggling with Alzheimer's! I had no idea!!
