# 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.

# you really should give them another try.
a friend gave me lords and ladies in my late teens, i never looked back.

# 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 :)
