| "Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
one for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
in the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all,
one Ring to find them,
one Ring to bring them all
and in the darkness bind them
in the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie."

 Biography: Terry Pratchett is, on average, a sort of youngish middle-aged. He was born in 1948 in the village of Forty Green (now a part of Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire) and is still not dead.
He lives in the west country with his wife Lyn and daughter Rhianna where he writes books in between answering the mail. He lives in constant dread that someone will find out how enjoyable he finds writing, and stop him doing it.
He chose journalism as a career because it was indoor work with no heavy lifting. He's managed to avoid all the really interesting jobs authors take in order to look good in this sort of biography. He started work as a journalist one day in 1965 and saw his first corpse three hours later, work experience meaning something in those days.
He likes people to buy him banana daiquiris (he knows people don't read author biographies, but feels this might be worth a try). He tries to make computers do things they were never intended to do. He also feels that the world could use more orang-utans.
He has a two speed Hedge Cutter and there is no truth to the rumor that he likes being presented with "wow-wow sauce" sandwiches at signings. |
