[Marky Lazer]

Gee! Sometimes you're such a... such a Pyan!

 

[Marky Lazer]

That was Lords and Ladies, on to Men at Arms.

 

[Joel007]

Men at arms was great, I need to re-read it actually...

"If you can count to two you can count to anything!"

 

[Marky Lazer]

One-third into it, while I should've been studying, I guess

 

[Marky Lazer]

That was Men at Arms, with possibly the best Pratchettism I've ever seen. Something along the lines of: Rich people are rich because they can afford to buy cheaper products than poor people.

I've moved on to Soul Music already, with the very true statement: "Susan didn't like Literature. She'd rather read a good book."

 

[Joel007]

Soul Music was great One of the first I read, still have wonderful memories of Elvish Bud y Holly's story!

 

[Pyan]

Gee! Sometimes you're such a... such a Pyan!

Thank you Marky, I think.

And I was talking about Magrat's revolt in the armour of Queen Ynci ...

Really? I like Buddy Holly anyway.

Ah yes, The Samuel Vimes 'Boots' Theory Of Socio-Economic Injustice, the "Vimes Boots" theory. It's been called the "poverty tax" over here, but I always prefer explaining it through a pratchettism.

I think Buddy Holly was a very good artist, my wife is a fan as is my father in law. I remmber reading Soul Music and chuckling at the subtle music jokes. Have you seen the animated version?

I bought Maskerade a couple of days ago. It's been yonks since I read any Pratchett and I haven't read it before.

 

[Bibliophile]

Maskerade is one of my favorites! Hope you enjoy it.

 

[Marky Lazer]

Easy! Still got 100 pages of Soul Music to read...

 

[Marky Lazer]

And on to Interesting Times. It got Rincewind, judging from the cover...

 

[Joel007]

Interesting times is one of my all time favourite books! I'm sure you'll enjoy it Marky.

 

[Marky Lazer]

Well, I guess it was about time to have another Rincewind book, really.

 

[Hilarious Joke]

Hmm, for me it was my least favourite. So much so that I didn't finish it and have moved on to Maskerade. Different strokes for different folks of course.

 

[Marky Lazer]

Interesting Time starts a bit slow...

 

[Marky Lazer]

By the way, I'll post Soul Music review tomorrow.
