This news sucks doesn't it?
The early aggressive form of Alzheimers is nasty too. My nan had the 'regular' type and in her home there was a man in his late 50s with the early onset type and he went down quickly - he went in the home after she did and left a long time before she did
Pratchett does like Tolkien - I watched a documentary where he said he'd read Lord of the Rings in one whole night as a teenager, apparently he couldn't put it down. And even though I've only read scanty bits of his stuff you can see the parodies all over the shop.

Tolkien fans are too scared to go for the five-fingered discount because they know what happened after a certain Hobbit nicked a Ring...
