Amen to that! I worship the ground upon wich Pterry walks.

I have read all of them (except for Thud which isn't out inpaperback here yet) I have almost all his books too, there's maybe 5 of the 27 or so I don't have yet. I also still need to get science of discworld 3.

Doppelganger. A friend of mine's first published novel. Reviews and sales have been good enough that she just got another two-book deal for as-yet-unwritten books. End sales pitch. :)

I'm really looking forward to Wintersmith. It's been way too long since we've had a good story about the witches.

BTW, I always order my Discworld books from amazon.co.uk, even though I live in the US. Does anyone know why the US editions get such sucky cover art?

Mneh, I dont like the ones about the witches myself, I prefer the ones about the Watch, though the ones about the Wizards are a close second.

I like the ones in which Death appears, especially the one where he got laid off, Reaper Man. Awesome deadpan humor he has, Death. Scything wheat one stalk at a time. Priceless.

Yeah, the death ones are cool, but not my favorites. Mort and Reaper Man were good, though.

My all-time favorite Diskworld book would have to be Soul Music, though.

Yeah, Death is high on my list as well. Death as Santa Claus was also priceless :)

I do like the Watch. It just feels like we've heard an awful lot about Sam Vimes over the past few years, and not as much about some of the other characters.

Off Season by Jack Ketchum.

My favourite Discworldian character set is the Watch, although I agree we've been getting quite a lot of Vimes and less of the others. Rincewind books come second.

My favourite book is The Last Continent, where Rincewind ends up on XXXX.

Godless - Ann Coulter

im in the middle of East of Eden.

Just got THE CORRECTIONS and Willa Cather's MY ANTONIA (I LOVE Willa Cather!) it's raining (and, recently, tornado-ing) here, so good day to indulge the book bug.

Ah , Catcher in the rye .... Tight prose and thought . Love it . Love the scene with the little sister on the roundabout .

Have you read the book by his daughter , Margaret Salinger ? Dream Catcher } a memoir .

' My childhood was a world that dangled between dream and nightmare on a gossamer thread my parents wove without the reality of solid ground to catch a body should he or she fall' .

I never mix the personal qualities of the author with the masterpiece , but there is nothing wrong with being interested in Salinger as a person .

Oh no , I have replied to an old post again .

Nothing wrong with that. Besides, this thread's pretty much ongoing.
