Truly splendid. I read Going Postal last week (cracking) then Making Money at the weekend. Currently reading Feet of Clay (one that I had missed). I am glad Pratchett was made a Sir, hope that was one in the eye for some of the snottier critics.

It will be a truly sad thing if he is not able to write any more.

Oh bugger. I've just realised that I haven't read Going Postal. I bought it but somehow it ended up on a shelf, unread.

So, currently reading, "Going Postal" by Sir Pterry.

Just finished ( took over 15 years ! ) :
ZEN and the art of Motorcycle Maintenance.

Brain feels as if it's been savaged by a blunt trepanning tool.

I can remember reading that book years ago and not knowing what rhetoric was, doh!

Probably needs a re-read now.

The Pale Blue Eye- Louis Bayard.

Is my lunch time book at work- I need to find another bed time book for at home- just finished The Prefect by Alastair Reynolds. Rather enjoyed it- as with all his other books.
