A Slip of the Keyboard: Collected Non-Fiction

Impossible to tell if I would have received this book differently if I'd read it while Terry was still alive. Would I still have cried as much? The PMS is at least partly to blame. Neil Gaiman's intro is barely five pages and was crying by the middle. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the passages on his diagnosis and living with Alzheimer's and campaigning for assisted death in Britain also made me cry. 
By the end of the first entry after the intro, I'm laughing and hugging the book. I appreciate the structure, more topical than chronological, in collecting articles/essays written throughout his career.
There's a little flavour of grumpy old man, slightly out of touch, especially in the tax letter entry, but there is touching wit and wisdom.
Highlights for me include: 
-Australian book tour
-Doctor Who? (On honorary degrees)
-Experience of first SF bookstore
-Lovely nature interlude picking mushrooms at dawn
