Tolkien lived to 81. Agatha Christie 86. John La Carre 91. Jackie Collins 77. Ken Follet is 74 and still very active. Anthony Burgess 76. PD James 94.

If you're talking about Douglas Adams, he died of a massive heart attack...in California, where he'd lived for years.

So, in summary, uh wot mate?

Iain Banks (59), Pratchett (66), and I'm not letting them off for Douglas Adams yet.

Though everyone in my family in Glasgow seems to live well into their 90s.

Both Banks and Pratchett died from untreatable illnesses. Feels a bit unfair to blame the NHS.
