Hello Everyone!

What are you all reading?

I am currently going through a re-read of Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. Currently on 2nd book, Fool Moon.

    I have read about a quarter of Discworld novels, wanted to read them all in released order, but couldn’t find many books. I plan to start the re-read again once I have found some of the remaining books.

      The books are very much worth rereading. The layers of jokes and references are so deep that you likely won’t catch all on the first or second reads.

      I can recommend The Annotated Pratchett File, https://www.lspace.org/books/apf/, for an in depth review of a lot of jokes and references. It explains a lot of things that are hard to catch if you haven’t grown up in England. Many things i thought Pterry had made up for the Disc is just references to real world things and events.

        Wow, just took a quick peek at the that, and it’s really detailed. Bookmarked the page and downloaded a copy. Will check it after reading each book.

          Sadly i’ve just discovered that from Going Postal and onwards there are no annotations. Seems the project never finished with all the books :/

            Oh, that’s sad. Was hoping to read these after every novel. They looked pretty interesting, some even had Terry Paratchet’s own comments.
