anisia Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I'm due for a re-read of the Harry Potter books before the new movie comes out. Which one is your favorite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissWhitlock Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I read the Boy in Striped Pyjamas a while ago. It was a good read, too short IMO though, but still a good read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atticjnr Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 I read the Boy in Striped Pyjamas a while ago. It was a good read, too short IMO though, but still a good read. Yeah, my english lecturer said "It's good but it will only take a sitting or two to finish it." I am looking forward to reading it though.

MissWhitlock Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Yeah, took me a two sittings, I wish it was longer though. So which Terry Pratchett books have you read so far? Just the ones on your list, or have you read other ones as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atticjnr Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 I've read a few more. Ill just go check.. The Colour of Magic The Light Fantastic Equal Rites Mort Sourcery Wyrd Sisters Faust/Eric (whatever its actually called!) and I have a few on the bookcase waiting to be read. Ill include them in the TBR list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissWhitlock Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I haven't read Mort or Wyrd Sisters yet.. Couldn't find Mort in our local library so I'll have to borrow from someone else. What'd you think of it? And I've started Wyrd Sisters a few times, but never got around to finish it. I was just too busy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atticjnr Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 Mort is brilliant, especially if, like me, you love the character Death. If you dont mind waiting untill I have been paid, I would be happy to give you a lend of Mort. Every Pratchett fan should read it! I enjoyed Wyrd Sisters but it wasn't one that stands out as brilliant in my opinion. I intend to read the other Witch books if there are any; should check at some point. Next Pratchett book I intend to read will be Reaper Man which is about Death. (Saying that sounds like im a depressing person if people don't understand Death is a character haha.)

lexiepiper Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I read The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas in January, and although short, it is a great book, very subtle story! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissWhitlock Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Death is hilarious. I haven't read any of his books yet though, I only know about him because he's in pretty much every Discworld book I've read. Especially Rincewind's, he was there alot. I would definitely like to read one of Death's books, he seems pretty interesting, no? Nah, it's fine, I can just borrow one from one of my mates, if they have any copies. Thanks for the offer though, it's very nice of you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atticjnr Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 He is really interesting. Throughout the books he is really funny and I love the fact that Pratchett has given Death so many other sides to his personality that we, in reality, would never associate with him.

chrysalis_stage Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I see you plan on reading Trudi Canavan - Black magician Trilogy, of which I have yet too read. I have however read the other trilogy - The Age of the Five and would recommend that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
