I agree with you entirely, but that's not what I was talking about. I wasn't asking whether Pratchett's books will remain popular (they almost certainly will), but whether Pratchett will be regarded by future generations as an author with the same importance to English Literature as Dickens or Austen, as some in this thread have claimed.
