Best-selling fantasy author Terry Pratchett has been diagnosed with a rare form of early onset Alzheimer's, he said in a message posted to his illustrator's Web site.
In a brief note to fans entitled "An Embuggerance," Pratchett, 59, said he was taking the news "fairly philosophically" and "possibly with a mild optimism."
Well, it's bad news but at least it's not an announcement that he died, which we've seen a few too many of in the last year. Here's hoping he sticks around for quite a while.
