Just finished reading I Shall Wear Midnight, and I will post a review in the next couple of days as I can't see that anybody else has. But first, I wanted to ask a few questions about what you think of Sir Terry.
1) have you read any Terry Pratchett?
2) if so was it Discworld or something else or both? How many books?
3) what is your overall opinion of Pratchett's writing?
4) which are your favourite arc of books by TP? (e.g Tiffany Aching, Vimes, Strata, the truckers etc.)
5) have you noticed a change in his style or quality since his diagnosis with Alzheimers?
6) do you think it is right for an author to be knighted on the basis of fiction he has written?
7) what is your favourite individual Pratchett book?
do you also think this is his best work?
9) do you ever find that you don't think of your favourite book by an author etc as the best one? Why is this (not) so?
10) have you read I Shall Wear Midnight? What did you think?
11)do you prefer TP's funny satires, his somewhat darker mire serious works (generally still satirical) something in between or do you see his work as something else? Or do you hate all of it?
12) have you seen any of the tv sealskins of his works? How do you think they compare to the novels?
I may post more questions later
Thanks for playing,

And the answer came to her instantly: pride. Oh, you hear them say it's a sin; you hear them say it goes before a fall. the shepherd prides himself on keeping the wolf out from the flock. We pride ourselves on making a good history of our lives, a good story to be told.

I'm torn between my love of Pterry and my inherent laziness.

Why do think you don't like unseen academicals as much as the others? *NM*

Re: It is self contained, it examines its themes and then moves on, it is packaged to my tastes.

Humorous. But his underlying nihilism always leaves me somewhat disturbed after finishing a book..

A lovely word confusion (not quite a paradox but I'm not sure what to call it)
