AnarchyDuck writes "From the BBC: 'Author Terry Pratchett is suffering from a rare form of early Alzheimer's disease, it has been revealed. In a letter published on the website of artist Paul Kidby, the writer said the condition was behind a "phantom stroke" he had earlier this year.' Pratchett himself is quoted: "Frankly, I would prefer it if people kept things cheerful — I think there's time for at least a few more books yet" Terry Pratchett'"
