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?
Yeah, all the main Discworlds, Good Omens, Nation, Strata and darkside of the Sun
2) if so was it Discworld or something else or both? How many books?
Think I just answered that.
3) what is your overall opinion of Pratchett's writing?
I like it very much
4) which are your favourite arc of books by TP? (e.g Tiffany Aching, Vimes, Strata, the truckers etc.)
Yes.
5) have you noticed a change in his style or quality since his diagnosis with Alzheimers?
Not overly. The fact that he plays around with so many genres and styles, I don't think I'd say there's a definite Pratchett style beyond the general high quality and the humour.
6) do you think it is right for an author to be knighted on the basis of fiction he has written?
Yes, provided you are giving out awards for achievements I'd say writing more than forty top class novels certainly makes him deserving.
7) what is your favourite individual Pratchett book?
I have no favourite. It's easier to list the few that I don't adore namely the two Moist books, The Light Fantastic and Strata.
do you also think this is his best work?Yes
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?
That'd only really arise if i'd read one or two books by an author with many other books I'd not read.
10) have you read I Shall Wear Midnight? What did you think?
Haven't read any of the Tiffany Aching ones.
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?
Love it all.
12) have you seen any of the tv sealskins of his works? How do you think they compare to the novels?
You mean the Sky One productions? I liked the hogfather but not the other two.
I may post more questions later
Do
Thanks for playing,
You are most welcome

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*

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)
