Terry Pratchett Talks about his Dementia

Famed author Terry Pratchett, whose Discworld books my daughter Molly and I read with great joy, announced ten months ago that he has been diagnosed with dementia -- in his case, a form of Alzheimer's.

In this newspaper article he talks about what it's like knowing you have a disease that will rob you of your memory, your ability to work (his has written 45 books in 25 years), and your personality. Worth reading!
