    he has it, and at least 4 of his brothers and sisters haveit/died already from it

    Stop using binoculars.
    Also don't use telescopes or any other device that allows you to increase the size of things you point them at.

    eh? what was that

    imma gonna sit over here and poop my pants while i watch Matlock

    seriously though, i am worried because:

    1) When my grandpa starts to get really bad, i know it will be really shitty for my mom
    2) If and when my mom gets it, it will be really hard to watch her lose her mind
    3) If i do eventually get it, the last thing i want to do is be a burden on my family

    Yes, it counts towards the previous statement that you have horrible taste.

    It's brilliant satire of all sorts of things, but it's so much more than satire as well. The world is full of great characters- so many that they simply do not all appear in the same book.

    There are several 'series' that follow various groups of characters. I can't even recall them all at the moment, but they're all grand, though different people find different ones more or less entertaining than others.

    Personally I think the Night Watch series is one of the better storylines, so I'd recommend you read "Guards! Guards" first.

    Or if you're more into reading about Death and what he does on his time off, read "Mort".

    There are lots of stand-alone books as well. "Small Gods" and "Pyramids" were both good and are pretty much separate from the main proceedings of other story lines.
