Posted Hide Post I could go with Small Gods - I need to re-read it anyway.

Posted Hide Post Hello everyone. I just read my first Terry Pratchett book (aside from Good Omens) -- Mort. I enjoyed it, but would prefer to read something from one of his other little series within Discworld. Small Gods sounds good -- I love stories that deal with religion, and to do it with humor requires a special talent (like Good Omens, I guess). Also the ones about the Night Watch PD seem like they'd be a riot, too. Looking forward to it, whatever "it" is. ____________________________________________________________________ "Patriotism is defined as the last resort of a scoundrel.

Posted Hide Post Chomiji - I always read Hogfather in mid-December! parrotslave - the Da Vinci Code/Thud connection - is that why I didn't really get into it? I've read all the Discworld books and this one just seemed to plod along. I haven't read DVC, so...

Posted Hide Post Maeve, it is very possible that is the reason. I kind of know the plot of DVC from people talking about it, but I too felt like I was missing some bits. Although, I'll probably wait to see the movie first. I also make a point to reread Hogfather every December. --------- She was not quite what you would call refined.
