The Terry Pratchett Thread

I went out to buy I Shall Wear Midnight, but got stopped by my parents. Apparently, they were paying attention, and thought it would be a good birthday present. So now I have to wait thirteen friggin' days to read that thing.

I'MMA GO CRAAAZY

Play Ravenloft to keep yourself occupied until you can read it.

Actually, right now I'm into Deadlands: Reloaded. If you haven't played it, I have five words for you:

Wild West horror fantasy steampunk.

My friends and I have been getting together every other week or so to play.
 
I have been a fan of Terry Pratchett for close on 15 years now and got a lot of friends and family hooked on to him. I recently got myself a Kindle and even before it was shipped had bought a kindle edition of Wee Free Men. i wanted my first Kindle experience to be special and what better way than to begin a TP series I hadn't read so far on it.
It's a great read and Tiffany is fast becoming one of my favourite characters along with Vimes and the witches. While reading today a little quote struck me when she comments on the death (killing?) of a character early in the novel:
"The stories weren't real. But Mrs Snapperly had died because of the stories..."
There's so much said in that one line that holds true of the real world isn't there?

I loved "Unseen Academicals" and thought it was one of the strongest Discworld novels for some time. Alzheimer's doesn't seem to have got a grip on Sir Terry yet!

Snuff

According to the writer of the best selling crime novel ever to have been published in the city of Ankh-Morpork, it is a truth universally acknowledged that a policeman taking a holiday would barely have had time to open his suitcase before he finds his first corpse.

And Commander Sam Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch is on holiday in the pleasant and innocent countryside, but not for him a mere body in the wardrobe, but many, many bodies and an ancient crime more terrible than murder.

He is out of his jurisdiction, out of his depth, out of bacon sandwiches, occasionally snookered and occasionally out of his mind, but not out of guile. Where there is a crime there must be a finding, there must be a chase and there must be a punishment.

They say that in the end all sins are forgiven.

But not quite all…

The stamps at the bottom are... interesting. From right to left, we've got Aslan and the White Witch, representing good and evil; Merlin and Morgana le Fay, r. g. &e.; Dumbledore and Voldemort representing homosexuality and repression good and evil; and Rincewind and Nanny Ogg, representing... ?
