The discworld version of events is brilliant.

i just read that.
cheered me up to no end.
( Mr. Johnson, Fri 15 Jun 2007, 14:45, archived)

I've only read
colour of magic
the light fantastic
equal rites
mort
Night Watch

AND

The Truth.

Oh, and the Wee Free Men.

But manwife told me all about the platypus thing, and I love it.

Aha
I'm always up for requests.

I'm trying to go in order, but I might just say 'fuck it'.
( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Fri 15 Jun 2007, 14:49, archived)

better to go in order
some characters undergo heavy development through the books
( pzyko is a whaler on the moon and carries a harpoon, Fri 15 Jun 2007, 14:52, archived)

The first four are in order, right?
I need to buy more.
( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Fri 15 Jun 2007, 14:53, archived)

with the first couple of books it doesn't really matter
but the newer ones should be read in order, at least those concerning the same cast of characters, like the watch

and they are in order, yes
( pzyko is a whaler on the moon and carries a harpoon, Fri 15 Jun 2007, 14:56, archived)

*claps*
So far my favourite one would be Night Watch or The Truth.

In fact, the Truth is my favourite so far.

( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Fri 15 Jun 2007, 15:08, archived)

i've read them all, by dint of the missus owning them, and not having anything of my own to read at the time
they're fairly accesible and entertaining
( mictoboy, Fri 15 Jun 2007, 14:49, archived)

I think so.
Certainly Pratchett's one of the few authors to make me laugh out loud whilst reading. Those books and Spike's books about when he was in the war.
( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Fri 15 Jun 2007, 14:50, archived)

oh christ
they're the funniest books I've ever read, but also quite tragic when he starts to lose it a bit

I just want to direct the next big budget drama they do for discworld- or do the casting so I can get Mark Heap as Rincewind.

best war diaries ever
The man was a genius

^this.
I can't remember which book it's in though.

Science of Discworld?
( wastedindustry hates writing CVs, Fri 15 Jun 2007, 14:47, archived)

I'm not sure
Boo's told me about it but I haven't read it myself yet. It could be that one, we certainly own it.
( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Fri 15 Jun 2007, 14:47, archived)

the one that i read was "the last continent"

( Mr. Johnson, Fri 15 Jun 2007, 14:47, archived)

Ah yes.
Sadly one of his weaker books, but had some good stuffs in it.
( wastedindustry hates writing CVs, Fri 15 Jun 2007, 14:48, archived)

like how vegemite was created.
it still makes me sick though.
( Mr. Johnson, Fri 15 Jun 2007, 14:51, archived)

Am I the only person who thinks Terry Pratchett is a shit-awful author who isn't actually funny?
I should mention that I read more than a couple of his books before reaching this conclusion.
( gronkpan, Fri 15 Jun 2007, 14:50, archived)

I'd guess you'd be in the minority when it comes to people who have read the books.
Most people who I know that have love him, but it's all subjective, innit?

Who do you like then? Don't say Tom Clancy.
( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Fri 15 Jun 2007, 14:51, archived)

I liked the one he did with Neil Gamain
Good Omens.
(Pachey, Fri 15 Jun 2007, 14:53, archived)

I haven't read that one yet, I must admit.

( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Fri 15 Jun 2007, 14:55, archived)

At the moment I'm re-reading fight club because the only other books in my house that aren't in boxes are all in made-up languages.

( gronkpan, Fri 15 Jun 2007, 14:54, archived)

Read the Illuminatus! Trilogy.
That'll keep you busy for a while.
( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Fri 15 Jun 2007, 14:56, archived)

I have a copy of
the dangerous book for boys on order. I'm looking forward to its arrival.
( gronkpan, Fri 15 Jun 2007, 14:58, archived)

Oooooh
I want to read that.

can I be an honourary boy? I'm rather good at it.
( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Fri 15 Jun 2007, 15:01, archived)

Sure.
Just don't get too good at it or it'll put some of the real boys off.
( gronkpan, Fri 15 Jun 2007, 15:09, archived)

you have every right to think so offcourse.
but so do we.

and that is that.

I met him once and he was very nice in a big-hatted nice sort of way
but I've never read any of his books
( Mighty Nibus who dares gins, Fri 15 Jun 2007, 14:53, archived)

I would have thought so.
Many people consider much of my reading material quite highbrow and inaccessible yet even I love to have a spot of escapism with Pratchett now and again. It allows for you to be a schoolboy again without any of the embarrassment.

Some people think Stephen King is a literary genius. I happen to think he's a one trick pony who has no idea how to end a story. Personal tastes may vary.
( Pasanonic so I compo anything with words, right?, Fri 15 Jun 2007, 14:56, archived)

Stephen King likes stories ending with explosions or big fires.

( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Fri 15 Jun 2007, 14:57, archived)

i agree on the stephen king bit.
i liked the kubrick version of the shining infinitly better than the stephen king version, and if the movie is better than the book it means something right?
( Mr. Johnson, Fri 15 Jun 2007, 15:08, archived)

Have you read The Green Mile or The Shawshank Redemption?
Apart from these two, I'd agree. Total shite.
( Stilton Cheesewright, Fri 15 Jun 2007, 15:20, archived)

No, I totally agree
I've read quite a few, thinking with so many fans there must be something there. I'm can count the things I found funny on one hand. In my opinion he's a poor man's Douglas Adams.
