I love Terry Pratchett so much that I haven't read all of his books. Since his death, I've been rationing out the books I have not read because I know one day, I will read the last Terry Pratchett book, and I will be very sad.

This is a collection of Sir Terry's nonfiction divided into three sections: his works and being a writer, his early works on being Terry, and his anger, much of which is about living with Alzheimer's and his frustration surrounding the laws on assisted death. This last section in particular is hard to read, but I think it's worth everyone's time to do so. The book might suffer a little since it's a collection of speeches and articles that were never meant to go together and thus there is some overlap, but overall it's thought-proving and smart, just like Sir Terry.
