    I still think of Rincewind as an elderly and clapped-out mail server... our sysadmin at the dot-com I worked for was a Pratchett nut and heavy metal freak, so before we introduced the policy of naming servers after Class A drugs, all the boxes were called things like "Rincewind" or "Anthrax" (Anthrax was a SQL 6.5 box...)

    Scandal! She writes kids books for adult's!

    I would put people like Pratchet, Rushie and even Stephen King above her.

    Yes King may not be the 'best' write in the world, but I bet he's close to being the most prolific!

    And then there are things like the Dark Tower series that show's he is more than just a Horror writer.

    Some people...........

    Great writer Stephen King but sadly excluded from being the 'Greatest living British writer' as he's an American.

    This should have been called 'The Most Popular British Writer' and it’s sad that people confuse popularity with being great. Popularity means being able to appeal to the widest group of people and that rarely goes hand in hand with being great. In fact it often means the opposite.
