Talking Old time discworld fan - 05-09-2009, 08:55

Hi all, I have been a Sir Terry Pratchett fan since his Dark side of the sun days but have only recently introduced myself to forums in general and this one now I have found it today.

I love all the discworld books but have a soft spot for Vimes, I also think if anything the books are getting better so it is such a shame about Sir Terry's illness, we can but hope he can work through it (if that is his desire).

I am by the way not fanatical (hope that doesn't bar me) as despite having all the discworld novels I have not gone out and bought everything he has produced (diaries, maps, cookbooks etc.) but I hope you will not hold that (or any sharp or hot items) against me.

Hope to interact with some of you soon.

Kev

Welcome , Kev, I hope you find this a convivial place. Most of us are fans , not too fanatical, we share an appreciation for Sir Terry and Discworld and thus often an understanding of each other as well. We try to have fun here, but some times there are lulls, several board members have actual jobs and some have it even tougher, they have or are about to have infants! I my self am home ill so I hope we can talk sometime. I have a special place for Sam Vimes myself.

Yes I have one of them but with the economics of the moment I am working reduced hours so I have a little time on my hands.

I think Thud is my all time favourite of the vimes central stories.

Default Hi - 05-09-2009, 22:01

Thanks for the welcome one of the reasons I came was to ask about a box set of books I have and want to replace so I have posted a thread about it, just can't seem to find another.
