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.
