On the one hand, saving it for later might be a good idea. On the other hand, it provides a relatively good introduction to the Discworld and Ankh-Morpork, so there you go. At the very least, it's a short and quick read. IDK. Flip a coin or something.

I hear ya' on wanting to read things but then forgetting. Make a list! ... 'Only you can save mankind' was excellent, by the way. :V Hmm, come to think of it, I find that in terms of texture (and feel and whatnot) the Johnny Maxwell books, as well as the Carpet People, have a similar "feel" to them as Colour of Magic and the other very early Discworld books, considering they were written earlier in Pratchett's career. There is quite a distance between those ones and, say, Night Watch or Monstrous Regiment or Nation for that matter.

And... with regard to my feelings on his writing, "Passionate" is a good word for it. To be honest, I wanted to do my honours thesis on his work (Though not all of it, of course -- I'd considered picking maybe three novels). The main thing that prevented me from doing so is that there wasn't a professor at my school who was familiar enough with it to be an adequate supervisor for the subject, sigh.

Fuck, I forgot to log out.
... Well, I suppose Norway would like Pratchett too. ;p

You're not helping my indecisiveness! Well, no matter. I'll worry about it when I actually have the book to worry about.

List, made. o7 Ahh, there's a lot. I'll go through and see what I want to buy the most tomorrow since s'getting late now. Anyway, I'm not surprised. If someone writes for that long of course their writing is going to change, though whether it's improvement or not is a matter of opinion, I suppose. But I don't think it's a bad thing. I know I'd get bored if I read a bunch of books and they were all written exactly the same way. ...But ngl, I might be too blunt to even notice. I'm err, definitely lacking in the literature/English department.

Anyway, that's a shame. To be honest, I don't really know what goes into an honours thesis, but I bet it would have been easy for you since you care about it so much, maybe even fun. But, well, it's in the past now.

And considering you're practically Norway, I do not doubt it one bit.

askdjfhk I really have to go to sleep now. G'night, Yuu!
