'Ning nightshifters.
ARGH, I've just got an image of luggage from the discworld novels raising its leg urinating like a dog now.

you say that like it's a bad thing.
I hope Mr. Pratchet writes some more Rincewind. I like Rincewind.
also his new non discworld book should be coming out soon... *goes ferreting off to amazon to find out when..*
Edit: 11th sept. and it's called Nation.

I have literally no idea what any of you are talking about.
I've owned and borrowed several Pratchett books, I don't think I've ever actually read through more than a tenth of one.
I vaguely remember the start of one with Death having a Butler and he was going down to Earth or something.

It took me ages to get into them.
I tried A Colour of Magic repeatedly over the course of a few years and couldn't get into it. Then one day it just clicked and now I've read the lot.

It's probably too much what I write to stand reading anyway.
I think I'll just stick to the classics. You can't fault books which have sentences the length of other author's paragraphs.
EDIT: I think I read some of the Truckers books, with the little Gnome people, they were alright enough to finish and read the next one although that was when I was about ten.

I read dostoevski's the priosner recently
I loved that lots.
and don quixote was very good.
Homer's the odyssey and the Illiad have been the top of the reading list for a while but other books keep jumping over them.
I also have Mein Kampf.. but i think that's just a book to be kept on a coffee table to scare guests.

I liked nightwatch
but I found it a break from his usual style.. as it was less jokey.. but it was very good.
I have every discworld book. apart from eric which I lent to a cousin/.. who has no memory of me doing this and Men at Arms which I left in a motel in France. gah.
Anything with Cohen the Barbarian in ='s win.
although I think my favourite book is Small Gods.

i've got them all, too.
i've got a soft spot for lords and ladies, but i love the dark style of night watch. the fact that it gives the other characters such backstory and depth is fantastic.
terry pratchett autographed reaper man and feet of clay for me :)

seconds later the butterflys lands on his nose and the oil beast looks crosseyed at the butterflies beautiful wings and marvels at the wonder of such wonderous ephemeral fragility.
then in one tragic moment he realises the butterfly is stuck to his oily nose and cannot unstick itself. poor oilbeast is condemned to watch the most perfect thing he has ever seen die slowly in front of him, tormented by the knowledge that the poor butterfly has died because of him.

Put a green filter on him so he can be a mossbeast instead of an oilbeast.

But if he's made of plant matter
he may get eaten by butterflies.

There's no happy ending with this picture, is there?

you never know
if he kisses the butterfly, it might turn out to be a moss princess under a spell, returned to her true form by the kiss of a lonely mossman.

this picture worries me
as I forsee this creature being he last supply of oil in the world and all the countries are trying to hunt it down to syphon out its slicky carbonness.
poor critter.

I saw it as a combination of the fugitive and the incredible hulk.
but with more lolloping around mountains.

I can't wait until Marvel comics start getting desperate for idea and give the Hulk guns.
Although I can't feasibly see what opponent he would go up against when he would actually need them.

Marvel needs some new characters, or at least new character fighting personalities.
There are basically only two varieties. The ones which are strong and can physically beat their opponent, or the ones which stream of some quasi scientific bollocks and pout around before collapsing the person into a singularity using a vibrator and a coke can.
Where are the people who use Tai Chi and angular momentum to defeat a powerful opponent? Or the people who are just cunning and have lasers grafted into their chests and exploding rats.

they tried doing new heros a few years back and nobody bought them
if you want subversive superheroing read Stormwatch and its succesor The Authority

New personalities, new methods, new writing at least.
I mean they've reinvented the standard heroes time and time again, so they may as well at least reinvent them fucking well for once.

I love moths.
They're big fuzzy wuzzy butterflies and they're crazy as fuck.
