I will love Terry Pratchett forever for this

from The Light FantasticIn fact, the hero even at this moment galloping towards the Vortex Plains didn’t get involved in this kind of argument, because they didn’t take it seriously but mainly because this particular hero was a heroine. A redheaded one

First, Icon love! :)

Second, I love Terry Pratchett. And this excerpt reminds me that I have not yet read enough of his books. Must get more Pratchett! :)

Icon love back atcha!

My son is reading his way through Pratchett and has caught me up with his enthusiasm. It's fun (and rare) to read books that make me laugh out loud!

Oh! That's great! How refreshing common sense is. Thanks for posting this. :-)

Years ago I saw a cartoon in the back of Dragon Magazine that had the buxom swordswoman dressed in the obligatory bikini. There were many arrows stuck in each of the tiny, strategically placed triangles of the bikini and nowhere else.
The caption read something like, "Thank goodness I was wearing my chain mail!" Closer inspection did indeed show that he bikini was made out of chain mail. I died laughing and have never forgotten that cartoon.

LOL!

And glad you liked the Pratchett excerpt; I know it made my day.

Well, now you understand my slight obsession with his works. There are days when I'll just grab a book, read a page, and the world is right again!

Thanks for sharing that. I haven't read that book in so long, I'll bet it will be like reading it for the first time. *grins*

...I love him, and am in the phase of 'read a dozen or so, can't find more locally, unsure how drastic I want to be about online buying, so will wait til more floats my way'...
