I had a sudden craving for Pratchett recently and read Nation and Unseen Academicals again. Perhaps influence by the football fever in Germany...?

Anyway, they're both so good that I get all happy. And sad-ish, because how am I supposed to follow those up? It's not just the story but - particularly in Nation - what the book says. How it says it, ( Read more... )

I don't know what could top Pratchett, but if you're looking for something fun and easy to read, and have some kind of tolerance for EXTREME MELODRAMA, this one was pretty nice: http://www.amazon.com/Hero-Perry-Moore/dp/1423101952 (currently not in stock anywhere that I can find)

It's real pageturner (I finished it at 5 this morning), at the same time that it's pretty damn cheesy and I swear you can see the "OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE IT"-plotpoints from miles and miles ahead, but you know, I think I kind of loved this book, bad AND good stuff. Helps that I love superheroes of course. :D

...så jobbigt att skriva på engelska. ;) Hur som helst, jag tror att du skulle kunna tycka att den var intressant.

Oh, I have tons and tons of stuff to read, that's not the problem... It's just that I want about 500 more Discworld books, plz (although Nation was also very good) and the knowledge that this is highly unlikely is painful ( ... )
