Despite being one of the funniest writers alive, and having a nearly unsurpassed level of creative genius, this man is *still* largely underrated as one of England's most brilliant writers, with writers like J.K. Rowling walking away with the most fame and recognition for books that are, in comparison to the Discworld novels, overrated piles of crap. There's nothing in Terry Pratchett's works that could make me keep a straight face- EVER, and each novel is utterly hilarious in a well-worded, balanced fashion that conveys a distinctive style of British humour that's become Terry Pratchett's style. The man might be coming along in his years, but he's shown NO signs of slowing down over the years... hilarious, creative, witty, and able to write novels that're both clever and compelling without overdoing humour or storyline. That's the true essence of Pratchett's genius; not just being funny, but keeping readers involved in the book rather then the jokes alone.
Pick up one of his novels and give yourself a laugh. If you find yourself reading through at least a single chapter and can't laugh at least ONCE, you're in need of some serious psychological assistance.
"Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day. Set fire to the man and he's warm for the rest of his life." ~ Jingo, another of Terry Pratchett's more well-known novels.

The(second) best selling author still alive in England. Famous for his discworld series.
Second because of the rise of JK Rowling and her dull Harry Potter books.
Pratchett rocks.
The grim reaper gets drunk and has his horse stolen : it must be Terry Pratchett

The best author in the world, hands down. He is the author off the awesome books in the "Wee Free Men" trilogy, as well as the Discworld series.
"...had plenty of room for him to grow, on the assumption that he would grow into a nineteen-legged elephant. ..." -Mort by Terry Pratchett
