I really should re-read that one. I love the silver hoard. ~ I prefer to live in a country that's small, and old, and where no one would ever have the NERVE to wear a cape in public, whether they could leap tall buildings in a single bound or not. trolls are like pigeons..keep feeding them and they keep coming back and shitting in your street. |

I loved Evil Harry and his intetionally incapable henchmen. I loved his "I have to play by the rules of being a Dark Lord" conversations with the Silver Horde. I've read about 1/2 of the discworld novels, but this one really made me laugh.

Nope, Just the paperback novel copy. That's probably why. It felt...incomplete.

It is pretty funny.
The artwork is quite nice as well. I espcially like it for those times where you just have time to read a page or two. Although, I have yet to acutally try cooking one of the recipes.

It was excellent, I'm very pleased I got it.

I'm impatiently waiting for the next book Thud! which seems to be released in America earlier than in the UK? what gives with that I wonder. (US Sept. 13, UK Oct 1)
and there's a companion book called Where Is My Cow? and September has a new Gaiman book AND Serenity AND my birthday, so it should be an interesting month!

heh, it's how I pictured them too.

yes, well, he was in Philadelphia yesterday and NYC today. I was gonna go to Philly (I dislike driving into NYC, it's just such a trip into the Twilight Zone) but I just couldn't justify prolly 2 tanks of gas, having to buy the book, stand in line for who knows how long, all for a barely recognisable squiggle and maybe a photo. then drive home...a 3 1/2 hour drive.
I just couldn't do it. I wanted to do, very much, but with gas prices what they are and bills to pay it just seemed too frivolous. really wanted to go to Neil's signing in NYC, too. ah well, perhaps another year.

Just read Where's My Cow? today.
The artwork by Melvyn Grant is beautiful, fun and whimsical. I can see why it won the Ankh-Morpork Librarians' Award. Ook! --------- She was not quite what you would call refined.
