Awards received by sir Terry

[Tristan]

So I was wondering... is there a complete list of awards Terry has received for his (Discworld) books?

We all know he got the Carniege Medal for Maurice and the BSFA for Pyramids, but other than that I seem to get a bit lost. Every now and then you hear something about his newest book being nominated, but I never seem to know if he has won.

And for the British: can you tell me which of those awards are the most prestigious / well-known?

He's won the nobel prize for literature. Possibly.

[Penfold]

From that list, I find it quite interesting that most of his awards and shortlisted books seem to be from the children's or young person's category rather than his adult books.

....apart from Pyramids!

I was thinking more on the lines of re-classifying Pyramids.

[Jan Van Quirm]

His novels have given rise to regular Discworld Conventions, a lucrative merchandising industry and a fan base bordering on the psychotic.

Ain't it the troof!

Re classification - they're completely irrelevant for the Discworld books (and Nation) we all (mostly) liked the Tiffany books didn't we? 8)

and in that list of accolades becomeing SIR TERRY PRATCHETT would have to be the greatest honour: thats the KBE: Knight of the British Empire (well he asked)
