# Morning!

Today we observe Vladimir and Ural in alternate-universe #512.
Here, everyone owns a jetpack, and wears bunny ears.
Fascinating.

What're you lot up to today?

# Very sleepy.
I'm mostly alone in the office today.
So I'm fucking around and drawing Vlad.

Might do some of that 'work' stuff later.

# It's very quiet today.
I'm usually flooded with emails and work, but this week not so much.
I'm deliberating whether or not the entire college staff are dead, or hiding.

Will be doing tutorial videos for a help page on the new Student Intranet soon.
Probably after the lunches.

P.s. does anyone know if the Annotated Pratchett File is still going?

# I like it
as do many.

I wouldn't advise you read the first 2 discworld books first, as they are a bit odd (not really found his own funny style yet, to my mind).

A good introductuion that doesn't rely too much on previous stories would be.... hmmm...

discworld wise, Mort or Pyramids I reckon.

and Good Omens is non-discworld and EXCELLENT and kinda gives you a feeling for both Pratchett and Gaiman (who I also endorse).

# Oh right, I just assumed you should read them in order.
So I should skip "The colour of magic" then? Will I miss exposition?
(I helped save b3ta! Colonel Dracula Two manky hookers and a racist dwarf, Wed 3 Oct 2007, 11:50, archived)
# Noooo!
Don't skip them, they're the Rincewind books. They're ace.

But he does have a few standalone books which are good to start with, I suppose. Maybe read Mort first and then The Colour of Magic + Light Fantastic.
(I helped save b3ta! Shada, Wed 3 Oct 2007, 11:56, archived)
# I find that
The Colour of Magic
and
The Light Fantastic
while ace, don't fit with the other discworld books. The style is a bit less developed and seems to hold onto more traditional-fantasy roots.

that's all
