I'm torn between my love of Pterry and my inherent laziness. beetnemesis Send a noteboard - 07/01/2011 05:55:25 PM
Discworld is awesome, I Shall Wear Midnight was good- although I liked Wintersmith and Hat Full of Sky better.

My favorite books are the later ones. Night Watch, in particular. Thud! rocks. The later Granny Weatherwax books. Masquerade is a guilty pleasure of mine- no one else seems to like it as much as I do.


Unseen Academicals is, I think, my least favorite of the series.
I amuse myself.

Why do think you don't like unseen academicals as much as the others? *NM* DrJacJacMcScrumptious - 08/01/2011 05:41:30 PM 382 Views

What do you particularly enjoy about Pyramids? DrJacJacMcScrumptious - 08/01/2011 05:44:31 PM 919 Views
Re: It is self contained, it examines its themes and then moves on, it is packaged to my tastes. Danae al'Thor - 08/01/2011 07:45:23 PM 986 Views
Plus, it has that great assassin test scene at the beginning. beetnemesis - 08/01/2011 08:51:15 PM 835 Views

Humorous. But his underlying nihilism always leaves me somewhat disturbed after finishing a book.. Shannow - 08/01/2011 09:21:56 AM 999 Views
Interesting DrJacJacMcScrumptious - 08/01/2011 12:18:56 PM 940 Views
To me atheism = nihilism... Shannow - 08/01/2011 12:47:04 PM 880 Views
Ok, I fundamentally disagree with you, but I respect your opinion DrJacJacMcScrumptious - 08/01/2011 12:49:54 PM 877 Views
Fair enough. However... Shannow - 08/01/2011 12:54:24 PM 907 Views

A lovely word confusion (not quite a paradox but I'm not sure what to call it) DrJacJacMcScrumptious - 08/01/2011 05:38:38 PM 739 Views

What nihilism? Camilla - 08/01/2011 04:28:59 PM 809 Views
To him, atheism = nihilism... Novo - 08/01/2011 05:06:28 PM 829 Views
Then he has misunderstood the concept. *NM* Camilla - 08/01/2011 10:22:04 PM 346 Views
