    That reminds me, I still haven't read the latest one yet.
  2. TamyraMcG Active Member

    I have Snuff on order, it is getting hard to wait, but i just finished the Last Hero, and that helped a lot.
  3. TheJackal Member

    I have it on order too. Can't wait.

    A bit apprehensive though. I don't think his last few books have been as good as they used to be tbh.
  4. TamyraMcG Active Member

    All I know is any Pratchett is better then just about any non-Pratchett, I liked the last ones just fine.

    Ultimate Guide good, Library...

    Hi. This guide is really good! Thanks!
    I did notice that the "Library" section of this site is a little behind on listing the newest books.

    I'd forgotten all about The Long Earth, have you read that?
  14. TheJackal Member

    Yes. Quite good I thought.

    The idea came from a short story he wrote called The High Meggae (1986), which was released in A Blink of the Screen: Collected Short Fiction (2012)
  15. Maljonic Administrator

    It's still on pre-order for paperback, I was going to get it now.
  16. TheJackal Member

    Can't edit the top list anymore since the switch to the new platform. Says posts can be 10,000 characters max. The Guide is 20,000 inc. spaces and counting.

    Any chance this limit can be increased?
  17. Maljonic Administrator

    See if it works now, I changed it to 30,000.
  18. JAK Member

    Nice comprehensive list but as it was started 7 years ago unfortunately some of the external links don’t work anymore eg.

    AM National Anthem – page no longer exists.
    Sea and Little Fishes – content removed at request of Colin Smythe.

    Also has the title ‘Raising Taxes’ been changed to the newly announced ‘Raising Steam’ or are they in fact two separate books?
  19. TheJackal Member

    Separate books. But PTerry has been putting Raising Taxes on backburner

    Edit: Ya, many of those links may be expired. Sometimes they come online again so I can't be bothered checking them.

    If you are looking for short stories online, just google the name. You never know where you might find a copy.
  20. TheJackal Member

    Cheers Mal, works fine now.

    Are Raising Steam and Taxes Discworld stories?
  25. TheJackal Member

    I think they are both Discworld, featuring Moist van Lipwig

    It's been said that Raising Steam _is_ what was called Raising Taxes; he said he had trouble making taxes interesting.
  28. TheJackal Member

    Interesting. Makes sense as I can't recall another novel planned but then put on ice for so long
