I would have liked to have met Terry Pratchett at some point. After freaking out (because it's Terry freakin' Pratchett), I would have just wanted to shake his hand and tell him a sincere thank you for everything. And then, in a perfect world, he would have read me a story, and it would have been wonderful.

Alas, Pterry passed away recently, and it genuinely felt like being punched in the heart. In a way, he felt like more than just my favourite writer - he felt like a distant grandfather.
