You're right! Did anyone spot the LOTR-reference in Witches abroad? I still laugh my head of when I think of that.

The Grim Squeaker · 04-07-2002, 11:14 AM

I lopve the discworld! but i thought that the later rincewind ones are rather booooring! my fav is the theif of time! has anyone noiced that gollum makes an appearance in witches abroad?

StrawberryIcecream · 04-07-2002, 11:50 AM

really? I hadnt noticed that. Where?

My favourite ones are of course the death ones and his obsession with kittens!!! hee hee! I also like the Susan ones. I'm not that keen on Rincewind but i'm never bored with him. I also love the city watch ones especially Carpe Jugulum(i really can never spell that).

I'm currently nearly fimished Eric whic I am finding hilarious considering it's Rincewind.

The Grim Squeaker · 04-07-2002, 01:08 PM

Yes when granny and the others r in the undergournd lake, a small grey creature sidles up to them and says 'ullo...it'ssss my birthday......' it's gollum.

***Earniel*** · 04-07-2002, 01:13 PM

That was it! So you've seen it too, Grim Squeaker! Love your screen name by the way. SQUEAK SQUEAK

That gollum-scene cracks me up everytime especially of the way they dispose of him! Whacked with an oar. Somehow I immediatly got a mental picture of that. Hilarious to say the least!

The Grim Squeaker · 04-07-2002, 01:30 PM

It's veeeeeeery funny!

StrawberryIcecream · 04-07-2002, 03:14 PM

I shall have to reread that one. didnt notice it before.

***Earniel*** · 04-07-2002, 04:25 PM

It's easily missed. It's only a few sentences. That's part of why it's so funny. Nothing else is said about it.

Dwarven Sen · 04-08-2002, 07:15 AM

My favourite one is prob soul music but i'v read nearly all and luv em the last hero is coooool

StrawberryIcecream · 04-14-2002, 01:57 PM

OMG! Guess where I'm going on the 3rd May!!!!!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

***Earniel*** · 04-14-2002, 02:07 PM

The Terry Pratchett Convention?!

StrawberryIcecream · 04-14-2002, 05:09 PM

I wish!!! No, where is that being held this year? Or are they having lots of little ones instead?

ANyway, not as exciing as convention, am going to booksigning!

Everyelse has probably already been to one but i havent!!!

TwirlingString · 04-14-2002, 06:13 PM

There's a Terry Pratchett convention?!

Elvellon · 04-15-2002, 08:53 AM

I’ve just start reading Small Gods, have anyone read it?

StrawberryIcecream · 04-15-2002, 01:06 PM

Yes! One of my faves!

I finished a while ago, Eric.

That is CLASS!
Its really short but definately one of his best ever!

***Earniel*** · 04-15-2002, 01:18 PM

The convention is in England somewhere. Or so they claim in my newsletter. There's a convention every year, with signing sessions, competitions for character look-a-likes and such.

Oh a book singing! Lucky you! Never been to one. He's hasn't shown up here either. Except for one lousy day when I was away. Sniff. No signed book for me. But I heard he once said that an unsigned book of his is rarer than the signed ones!

So I'll life.

Small gods!! That's one of my faves too! It's sooo good!

No I haven't read that one yet, what's it about?

Elvellon · 04-15-2002, 09:12 PM

I’ve just started reading it; it looks to be about how a novice from some church became personally acquainted with his god, a small, rather worn out one-eyed turtle. And how the church hierarchy doesn’t like it, specially the “Quisition”.

TwirlingString · 04-15-2002, 09:16 PM

Sounds like Terry Prachett, I don't supposed the wizard from the unseen university are there (hopefully)(i adore them)

Elvellon · 04-15-2002, 09:18 PM

Can´t tell, like I said, I haven’t read much yet.
