That's... well. It's just a massive gap in your common knowledge. Sir Terry is one of the all-time bestselling UK authors in any genre and one of the most popular fantasy authors, if not the most popular, of the last twenty years.

Not to mention his charity campaigns which have also been very high profile.

The quality of the work, and whether it's to your taste, are broadly irrelevant - the name is just something that everyone should know, especially anyone involved in roleplaying or geek culture or whatever. His influence is colossal.

Also, he wrote an entire book about Australia.
