Heehee, that's how I got introduced to Pratchett... Sis bought 'Feet of clay' shortly before my exams, since the cover read 'Like Tolkien with gags' I was of course very curious. So I started reading, thinking: "Hey, I just read the first chapter or so."
And of course Pratchett doesn't do chapters. I barely made it through my math-exam... ![]() However, I still haven't read 'Hat full of sky'. I'm so proud of myself. ![]()

Well you're very strong. I finished with my exam on Fryday and I'm already nose first in the books

eep. Have not even heard of Hat Full of Sky yet... I am SO out of the book-loop.
What's it about? |

I haven't read it yet, but judging by the cover and the text on the back, it's the sequal of 'A wee free men'.

Hat Full of Sky is indeed a sequel to Wee Free Men. It's quite good.
![]() I have never been able to resist the Pratchetturge when it comes calling. So far I've read every Discworld book. Usually in a day or less. Work does not get done on those days. (Eärniel, I'm impressed you got through your math exam ![]()

Ah. That's what I'll read at my job. I'm going through books ridiculously fast, but can't read any of my histories because it takes more focus than I can have while being interrupted by tourists every other minute. Yay Pratchett.

![]() I've found out I had 'Monstrous Regiment' on my book shelf and still hadn't read it, so I'm taking it on holiday next month. I'll save 'A Hat full of Sky' for later. But I got 'The Last Hero' as a belated birthday gift and I finished it that same day. ![]() ![]()

Sir Terry Pratchett died today.
Sad, sad day. There's no counting how much this man has changed my life for the better. |

Sad indeed. I got choked up looking at his last few tweets...
