I read that last month and loved it!! He reminds me of Neil Gaiman style-wise.
Reaper Man is brilliant - is that the first Pratchett book you've read?
Yes, starring Will Smith. If you've ever seen the black and white movie "The Last Man on Earth", that's the book the movie was based on

No, I've read almost all of the Rincewind Series, The Amazing Maurice, Half of The Guards' series, and am now going to finish the Death serials. To say the least, my free time during class courses will be filled for a while.
The Omega Man with Charlton Heston is another adaptation of the novel.Yes, starring Will Smith. If you've ever seen the black and white movie "The Last Man on Earth", that's the book the movie was based on

I don't think I could watch that movie without mixing The Ten Commandments in. Moses doesn't seem like the evil post apocalyptic vampire hunter to me. Just a hunch.
So that's what that is?!Cookie Monster...as Santa...who wouldn't?
D'oh.
I knew I should have recognized that.
Anyway, my answer is "Playboy."
Man, Norman Mailer was a pretentious jackass.
Cool - you should really check out the Witches (Nanny Ogg and Esme Weatherwax) books too - Wyrd Sisters, Witches Abroad, Lords and Ladies etc - they are my favourites. The Tiffany Aching trilogy starts them too, thats Wee Free Men, Hat Full Of Skyand The Wintersmith. Oh, and not forgetting Good Omens - which Pratchett wrote with Neil Gaiman - it's not discworld but it's bloody brilliant all the same
Well, with all the apparent hoohah the PC brigade are causing over Sesame Street, I thought I ought to representSo that's what that is?!Cookie Monster...as Santa...who wouldn't?
D'oh.

I'm currently reading...
So Long & Thanks For All the Fish by Douglas Adams
Top 10 by Alan Moore
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey
The film of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest is great, but the book really blew me away
I keep picturing Lord Eddard Stark (A Game of Thrones) as Beowulf.
I've seen the movie at least 10 times but I've never read the novel. I'm only in the 2nd chapter but I can already see the difference.The film of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest is great, but the book really blew me away
For the most part, I prefer books to films only because you can read a character's thought processes and this is no exception.
One of my favorite series of all time. I just finished The Hitchhiker's Guide (The new film) and thought it did justice to the book.
The High Lord: The Black Magician Trilogy Book Three - By Trudi Canavan
I just love this set 3rd time reading it
But now i got alot more time on my hands now.. time to re read The Dark Tower
Rereading Wizard and Glass
Duty is heavier than a mountain, death lighter than a feather. - al'Lan Mandragoran, Eye of the World
Me too, but I thought the last book (Mostly Harmless) was rather lacking.One of my favorite series of all time.
I totally agree. It ended up unresolving and dissapointing.
Me too, but I thought the last book (Mostly Harmless) was rather lacking.
For a better picture of a resolvable yet dissapointingly satisfied ending, I guess I'm at the right forum page.
Yeah, it's a great book. Been years since I last read it (loaned & not returnedI've seen the movie at least 10 times but I've never read the novel.

Currently re-reading The Talisman.
The thing about HhGttG books is that they're full of buildup and then nothing happens.
Oh noes, here comes the evil aliens who can destroy time and space and all your stuff and here's their history and how it ties into everything that's ever happened ever. Oh noes they're coming around the corner, oh noes, one of them is going to speak...
"Hello." The evil alien with the evil plans and the evil history that ties into everything said.
"Hi." Arthur replied.
"Hello" said Trillian.
"Hmmph" said Ford with his towl wrapped around his head.
"Screw you guys, I'm taking the Heart of Gold and I'm going home!" said one of Zaphod's heads.
""Hey, alright." said Zaphod's other head.
"Whimper" said Marvin.
The evil alien with evil intentions continued, "Would any of you like some tea?"
"Yes, please." said Arthur. "Do you have any white bread to go with the tea?"
"Yes." said Trillian, and did nothing else.
"Hmmph Hmmph" said Ford and passed out from lack of oxygen.
"Hey hey, alright" said Zaphod's other head.
Zaphod's first head said nothing, as it had left on The Heart of Gold moments before. How Zaphod left without taking both heads is a question that will haunt the very fabric of creation until I explain why a book and a half from now.
Marvin continues to sob violently.
I like it... but I guess it doesn't live up to the hype, imo.
One problem. Marvin would never whimper. He'd just sigh, saying "It's not polite to steal, you know. Not that anyone ever listens to me..."
My only problem with the series is..
If he was that depressed, why didn't he just off himself?!
Ok you have a point about Marvin, but the rest was dead on, wasn't it?
Marvin had a huge ego that's why. Yes he was always down and complaining, but he always took the time to mention just how big his brain was. He may be a sad sack robot, but he's an egotistical sad sack robot.
Amen to that. I may have to use that some day, btw. I felt like I was reading
HHGttG 8: Yet another story of improbable information of Doom found on back of matchbox.
The greatest thing of all is that the last little bit means so much, but to anyone who hasn't read the series it is just useless info.
Just like all of the other important facts. Like the mention of Trillian's phone number. Addams really was scraping the bottom of the barrel for obscurity.
But it was funny.
you're solid gold // i'll see you in hell
Adams wasn't scraping, he was just a firm believer in connecting everything. I really do admire the cohesion of plot, plot points and side points that he was able to attain.
Not only funny, but clever and well thought out.
