The Discworld Diaries

[HoopyFrood]

Damnit, Sourcey! I meant Sourcery! Heh

 

[Bibliophile]

If you like the Death books you should also like Reaper Man. An oft-maligned but enjoyable addition to the group. Did you also pick up The Last Hero? It is beautifully illustrated by Paul Kidby (so not in the traditional format) and fits into the regular books right after Interesting Times.

Discworld has been put on hold for a bit. The Children of Hurin stands in the way...

[Joel007]

Small Gods was great

 

[Marky Lazer]

Okay, I picked up the next Discworld in the series: Sourcery!

 

[Joel007]

Hope you enjoy it, I loved Sourcery

 

[Marky Lazer]

Done with Sourcery! On to Wyrd Sisters!

 

[Joel007]

Ah the classic Shakespearian story, sort of

 

[Quokka]

Wyrd Sisters is the last one I read as well, I didnt think Id be a big fan of the witches stories but I have to say I found it one of the funniest yet, after Mort of course .

Last night I read the Discworld Mapp. There's some short entries on famous explorers, and guess what? they're all pretty silly

On a side note (I posted this in The Lounge as well), I need to find idioms for my English Profiency class -- ten a week, actually -- I'm going to try and do ten Pratchett entries a weel

 

[Marky Lazer]

Finished Wyrd Sisters; sixty pages into Pyramids...

 

[Hilarious Joke]

Where did the book reviews go?

 

[Joel007]

I thought Pyramids was great, I actually learned a lot more about Egypt by looking up the parodic references.

 

[Marky Lazer]

Where did the book reviews go?

I'm a bit short on time nowadays, but will start getting some out when I have more time.

 

[Patrician]

Pyramids is great. The dialog with the Sphinx is hilarious.

 

[Werthead]

Small Gods was great

Best book Pratchett has ever written, by far (and I enjoy a lot of his other books).

 

[Marky Lazer]

I think I'm finishing Pyramids today or tomorrow, which leaves me with Guards! Guards! only. In other words, the next order is coming up:

From Eric to Maskerade and I got the Bromeliad trilogy.

 

[Pyan]

Yay! you're coming up to my personal favourite set of characters, Marky - the Night Watch.

 

[Marky Lazer]

In some unforseen spare time, I managed to read the three short stories set in the Discworld: Theatre of Cruelty, Death and What Come Next and A Collegiate Casting Out of Devilish Devices.
