Seems I caught a virus infection AGAIN (I made sure to roll my eyes at the doctor yesterday when he told me) and have therefore been confined to my bed since Saturday. Which gives me ample time and opportunity to read. I actually shouldn't even be here posting this, but I had to send someone a PM about primer_equipo and there's an issue about a Threadless shirt that I need to return because of unwanted ink on the printing, so I figured I could just as well inform you guys about my absence (in case you didn't notice XD) and the reason for it. (If you need anything from me, just e-mail me.)

I also have a question. I finished The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic and am wondering which Discworld book I should read next. Some of you told me that the books don't need to be read in the order they were published because there are various subseries. Now, I was wondering if I should continue with the Rincewind subseries (since I've read two books of this subseries already) or if I should buy Equal Rites and Mort, the next in the publishing chronology, next.

Also, now that I've read the first two Rincewind books, I was wondering why some of you don't like them. I enjoyed them a lot, and though I admit I was a bit confused at times because of the way Pratchett jumps from setting to setting and leaves certain things unexplained for at least one chapter, I still found them fascinating - and maybe a little more because of that.

Okay, I think I should go back to bed now, but before that I need to share one more quote:
Some pirates achieved immortality by great deeds of cruelty or derring-do. Some achieved immortality by amassing great wealth. But the captain had long ago decided that he would, on the whole, prefer to achieve immortality by not dying.
