# 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.
