The next Discworld book I have to read is Lords and Ladies. It's another witches book with Granny Weatherwax. Looking forward to it. Going to start it after I finish a few of the eBooks I have in the works.

Quote:
It's a hot Midsummer Night. The crop circles are turning up everywhere — even on the mustard-and-cress of Pewsey Ogg, aged four. And Magrat Garlick, witch, is going to be married in the morning...

Everything ought to be going like a dream.

But the Lancre All-Comers Morris Team have got drunk on afairy mound and the elves have come back, bringing all those things traditionally associated with the magical, glittering realm of Faerie: cruelty, kidnapping, malice and evil, evil murder.[*]

Granny Weatherwax and her tiny argumentative coven have really got their work cut out this time... With full supporting cast of dwarfs, wizards, trolls, Morris Dancers and one orangutan. And lots of hey-nonny-nonny and blood all over the place.

[*] But with tons of style.

I think I liked Lords and Ladies better on the second read. Some of the Discworld books are like that for me.

Hogfather is one of my favourites. As Terry Pratchett described it...

Spoiler:
"Let's see, now... in HOGFATHER there are a number of stabbings, someone's
killed by a man made of knives, someone's killed by the dark, and someone
just been killed by a wardrobe.

It's a book about the magic of childhood. You can tell."


(The above might not really be a spoiler, but at least you've got an option now, Geoff. )

Cheers,
Marc

Hm... spoiler button not working for me at the moment, either. Off to report the bug.... (yes, I read it too-- the trick is to use the quote button and then not save.)

Have to give a high recommendation to #15 Lords and Ladies.

Quote:

Everything ought to be going like a dream.

Granny Weatherwax and her tiny argumentative coven have really got their work cut out this time... With full supporting cast of dwarfs, wizards, trolls, Morris Dancers and one orang-utan. And lots of hey-nonny-nonny and blood all over the place.
[*] But with tons of style.
