Yeah, 'Join Me' is great! I read it instead of working one day while I was at the cinema. It was great. It changed my life for a day. Though, that doesn't sound much, I think it's quite an achievement. For one day I was nice and helpful to strangers, but after awhile I reaslised taht takes effort.

I have started Freedom's Ransom by Anne McCaffrey, and Wicked by Gregory Maguire. Wicked is the story of the Wicked Witch of the West, lets just say it isn't easy when you are green.
I am enjoying it quite a bit, and will be looking for his Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister,as well as Son of a Witch when it comes out in October.( ' ,') "don't eat green potatoes" (> >) Last words of Mrs. Bertha Sperling @( )_ )_ |

I know, it's all well and good being nice and stuff, but soon, being nice will mean "giving people money" and that doesn't give me that warm glow inside...
I think it would have been amusing if he swung the other way, and used his ranks for mischief. He could have freaked out people in lifts all over the world ![]() |

No I haven't. I'm pretty far out in the sticks and the closest thing to musical theater around here is the Northern Light Opera Company, and they are still doing Gilbert and Sullivan, who knows when they will get around to putting on something like Wicked.

I'm reading Wyrd Sisters, my 7th book in the Discworld series (Reaper Man being my first). I love it. Especially the part at the theater with Granny getting annoyed by the people stabbing each other. Reminded me of Blackadder.
By the way, when do Ridcully and the wizard gang come into the series? |

I guess Ridcully and Rincewind meet each other in Interesting Times, or before? |

I'm reading Soul Music and I think it's great... it's getting really interesting... Buddy's being very strange... but I'm not too fond of Susan at the moment actually. Everyone who's read the books that I know has told me I'll love Susan and really identify with her, but right now I think she's whiny and doesn't think about things, lol! :roll:
I'm also being forced to read To Kill A Mockingbird before the summer hols are up. That's a surefire way of pumping any interest out of a book - make people read it and analyse pretty much every word until they frankly want to put the book through a shredder. It happened with Jane Eyre, it's happening with To Kill A Mockingbird. Argh. ![]() I also really want to read Animal Farm, but it keeps being taken out at the library. :P |

Animal Farm is also really quite good too. |

I'm reading Darwin's Watch, after just having finished the previous 2 Science of Discworld Books. I had to wait till I moved to England to read them because they aren't sold in America :doubt:
