His books brought me so much joy, and his writings were part of my journey from conservative to liberal,” shared inquisitormedina. “Thanks Terry for many many hours of pleasure. Thanks for the laughter and the insight into what it means to be human, and all those moments of wonder,” wrote frustratedartist.
