Usually not more that a few days. I bought Cronicals of Narnia Vol. I in the middle of my exams and I started reading it two days later

That's just how it works, surrender to the dark side...

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...

But I finished the book that one day.

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

***Earniel*** · 06-13-2005, 01:35 PM

Oh, I am still with my nose in the books.

I just try to be a little selective in which books I read now so I can keep the best for on holiday.

Lady Magpie · 06-14-2005, 11:01 PM

eep. Have not even heard of Hat Full of Sky yet... I am SO out of the book-loop.

What's it about?

***Earniel*** · 06-19-2005, 01:46 PM

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'.

Count Comfect · 06-19-2005, 08:43 PM

Hat Full of Sky is indeed a sequel to Wee Free Men. It's quite good.

More tiny blue guys.

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

).

Lady Magpie · 06-20-2005, 02:38 AM

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.

Had 56%. Good enough in high school but if I had that in college I was probably screwed.

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.

And God I'm jealous of the awesome art work! I want to be that good!

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...
