So a friend of mine turned me on to them and I am impressed. I can't believe that I never saw them with as long as they have been around. I am currently reading Sourcery. On a side note I finally get Rince's name. |

I'm a notoriously slow reader, but I read the first two Discworlds within a week, then the third one bored me quite a bit, then Mort was incredible, then Sourcery I was so bored through I could barely make it to the end. I did, and I got like ten pages into whatever the next one is but I went "you know what, I get it. Whatever." One of those things that bothers me about Discworld, is that it's like Pratchett decides he wants to write a book about rock music, so re invents it in discworld. And then in the next book he wants to do movies. Then it's a parody of Faust... That somehow lessens the appeal of the whole world, all the mythology, knowing that he just makes up anything as he goes along and then acts like it was that way all along. Also, I kind of stopped finding them funny too.
But anyway... |
