Terry Terrific.

aS cliched as the title may seem, it is true. Terry Pratchett is a wonderful author. I've only read around ten pages of Good Omens, the novel that he co-wrote with Neil Gaiman, before dropping the book because it was time to leave. But then I had another chance to read his stuff when my seatmate on the airplane from Indiana bound for New Jersey handed me a copy of Pratchett's first book, The Color of Magic. Delighted was I, and my faith in friendly strangers renewed. A little more small talk with the man, and I found out that he knew Robin Williams and met with him on a regular basis. He has an actress-girlfriend-schoolteacher who has small holes in the sleeves of her sweater where you can put your thumb in. He runs a comedy club in New York, but lives in Jersey. I didn't get his name. Ah, the fun, coming across a nice stranger. He even let me keep the book. ^_^
