I was forced to make an executive decision due to a tied vote on the poll.

And here it is. A thread all ready for the reading to commence on Monday. Anyone got any (non spoilery) first impressions of the book they want to post here?

Hmm, non-spoilery.... :ponder:

I know it`s a childrens` book, but I think this is the first Discworld book with a child as the heroine ? :shrug:

It also involves a race of fairies who were thrown out of the fairy realm for being drunk and disorderly :lmao: That was taken from an online shop listing so can't be classified as a spoiler :whistling:

Glaswegian fairies, if I`m not mistaken. ;) :lol:

Oi!!! They're not Glaswegian.

They're from Fife :ph43r: :lmao:

I finished this book last week :ph43r: :lol:

Bloody brilliant :thumbsup:

OI!!!!!

Some book club member you are :snooty: :snooty:


Everyone ignore Melian. shun her. Shun her.

;)

It is a rather good "kids" book aint it? :lol: :lol:

Hey!! I'm not the only one :shrug: :lol:

I don`t know what you mean, Karen. :whistling:

Ahem, I may have finished it in a day, it was so good. :thumbsup:

Pictsies ! :lmao:

Yeah, the Nac Mac Feegle, could very well be my favourite Pratchett creation. :lol:

Ditto :thumbsup:

It took me a while to realise that this book had.....Chapters . :blink:

Yeah, it took me by surprise too :o

Pratchett does chapters??? :fear: :fear: :fear:


I was shocked. But pleasantly so :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

:ermm: I think there must be some kind of conspiracy where I live, I've checked two libraries so far and hunted in town this afternoon to no avail. I think I've found possibly every other book he's written except this one :rolleyes:

If I use my book club it will probably take a month so I'm going to try a friend who I know has a lot of Pratchett as a last attempt to join in - wish me luck :lol:

Do you want my spare copy Alex?

I don't know I managed it, but I ended up with 2 copies :blink:

:thumbsup: That would be great Jamie, I'll check with my friend first and then let you know.

There is definitely something odd going on down here, my local library has decided to get rid of all the different categories and is now - Fiction or Non Fiction, that's it.

W H Smiths have merged Sci fi/fantasy/horror/tv/film into one stand :o

and the Waterstones here have done something similar. Looks like I'll be ordering most books in future :unsure:

I never ventured into Pratchett but having enjoyed the last one you recommended I'd like to read some more :)

Well, I'll post off the "Death Trilogy" to you tomorrow then. Three of the best Discworld novels in one large tome, You'll love it. Especially "Reaper Man" otherwise knowm as "The one where Death gets the sack" :lmao:

Oh, and let me know if you want The Wee Free Men as well.

:yahoo: oooh fantastic :thumbsup:

I'm reading a great book at the moment but its very depressing :tear:

I'll have to do you some bumper discs in return

:yahoo:

I just started this at the weekend. Not got very far yet though. I brought it into w**k in the hope that I may be able to snatch a quick read now and again but no luck so far :tear:

:thumbsup: Started reading this yesterday, so far am loving it :thumbsup:

Glad you're enjoying it Alex.

Though I feel compelled once again to say...

"The Nac Mac Feegle are not Scottish!!!"

:lol: :lol: :lol:

We get through more sheep liniment than they do :whistling: :lol:

:lmao: ok they just sound Scottish and look Scottish, mere coincidence :lol: :lol:

:lol:

Do you have any tattoo's Jamie :ponder: :lmao:

Who me?

Maybe. But I'd need to be drunker than at MK to show it to you :lmao: :lmao:

:fear: Now I'm scared :lol:

:yahoo: finished this morning, fantastic :thumbsup:

I think this should be made compulsary in schools, brilliant read my second thoughts say I must read more Pratchett :)

Crivens

Crivens ! :lmao:

Apparently my message is too short - double crivens ! :lol:

Jings!

Now you've only got the Death trilogy to read. :lmao:

Nah, you really need to get your hands on "A hatfull of sky" the sequel to The Wee Free Men. Trust me, you'll love that too ;) :thumbsup:

:o There is a sequel :yahoo: Yipeeeeee I wasn't expecting more :thumbsup:

I'm reading The Well of lost Plots at the moment, then the Death Trilogy and then I'll go get it Fantastic :thumbsup:

:lol: Crivens! :lol:

I had to laugh that the only thing the Nac Mac Feegles were scared of were lawyers :lol: waily waily

:lmao: After reading the last few posts I have decided the the words Crivens and Waily should be used much more often :lol:
