since we're nicking stuff from Cavenagh, I must admit to nicking this quote and using it in another forum. My user name there is Maeve as well, but frankly it should be The Confusion Queen!

i love this book.

just got it finished again.

i really think I could open it at any page, and find a quote i liked.

testing....

P112 - "She even tried the one which every romantic nerve in her body insisted should work, which consisted of theatrically giving up, sitting down, and letting her glance fall naturally on a patch of earth which, if she had been in any decent narrative, should have contained the book.
It didn't"

hehe, that was quite a long one!

P239 hmmmm, nothing really quotable, but I like the desription of Crowleys flat.

okay, I can look at every page and smile then

hehe, page 138 "they just better not come running to me when ole Picky is turned into a frog, that's all", Muttered Adam.

So, have you's been here...annotations page?

how are we all getting on with this? everyone done? anyone still reading? any further questions, favourite quotes? anyone ready to start the pick for the next book?

I found that line rather funny since I sometimes resort to similer tactics myself. Occassionaly it actually works. I also quite liked the stuff about the ducks, Crowley's plants and so many other things I can't list them all.

I rather liked all the Other Bikers of the Apocalypse, all the stupid name changes they went through.

and Shadwell always seems very John Cleese-ish in my head. rather like tim the Sorcerer from The Holy Grail.

and I like the whole explanation bit about pounds and shillings and such.

that's all I can remember offhand. I spose I could go read it again!

yay! again! again!

I've just been reading bits of it when i need a laugh

i love his descriptions of the japanese car and agnes discription of it too, also the happenings with the nuclear power plant

oh and i read The dark side of the sun again the other night, i think after theif of time it's my fav terry book, definately worth a read for those fans of his that haven't read it yet!

So, this has gone quiet, and we've had a suggestion that since the new book is out those of us who can shall get hold of thud (and I say the cow went moo too) early october, and then a new/old one around christmas time?

sounds dandy.

i'll reserve it from the library.

that's my plan too.

I got my copy of Thud this week.

yay for parrotslave

you'll have to give us a non-spoiler review in the normal pratchett thread.

I got Thud and Anansi Boys yesterday. Reading Thud first 'cos I can devour Pratchett easily and I want to be able to really focus on AB. ...if that makes sense.

third of the way into Thud... it's plodding, which isn't typical. eh, it will prolly get better the second time through.

Have to wait until 1st October to get Thud and Where's my cow? Some friends have read proofs and think it his best to date!

Excitement mounting.
