I tend to think a lot about the books I read. I don't analyse them as such, just think about them.

Hehe.
Anyway, I'm reading Men at Arms again. It's one of my favourite ones. It's only the second time I've read it, though. I like reading it again :)

^^ I'd already read Making Money, so I already knew Angua was a werewolf, but even so, I got really caught up in the drama as readers find out. To me, that's the sign of a really good writer; someone who can get people caught up in things they already know.

I totally agree! And thankfully Terry Pratchett is one of those great writers.

Yeah, him. She did...and he did give her that necklace. He's seemed pretty sweet on her for a while.

Possibly. Though considering she was nine and he was thirteen in the first one, it would be a little creepy.

Not much better, but considering the cultural context in which the story takes place, it's actually pretty good. A lot of girls who were Tiffany's age had like...old men for husbands.

That's true... So what do you think about Ankh Morpork?

It sounds like an interesting town, but I think I prefer Lancre more. There are too many ways to commit suicide in Ankh Morpork :P What do you think?

I don't like the idea of Lancre cheeses.... Horace scares me a little. But Ankh Morpork is a bit smelly for my tastes too... I'll stick to the chalk.

The illustrated version of The Last Hero does exist. I have it! :D I got it for Christmas a few years ago. It's beautiful. <3
Anyway...I think my favourite book of the series is The Reaperman. Death is my favourite character. :3 Then goes Death of Rats, Susan, Rincewind and Luggage.
