Seperate.Ah yes I have bought a new Pratchett novel called "Hogfather" the concept seem funny (from what ive read from the back) you read it?

Yes, she did write the Dragons of Pern, though I prefer her Sci Fi series, like the Tower and Hive sequence and the Talent series. (She uses a lot of Psionic talents, like telekenesis, in her writing, and I can't get enough of them.)

I have read Hogfather. I think it is one of Pratchett's best novels, with Death masquerading as the Hogfather (The Disc's equivalent of Santa) because someone has paid for the Assassin's guild of Ankh Morpork to kill off the Hogfather. The assassin, who goes by the name of 'te-ah-tim-eh' (Spelt Teatime) is hillarious
An excellent choice.
Great im looking forward to reading it now.
Just as soon as I finish Mort,nearly finished,

How far have you got in it?
Quite far im at the bit where death send him to do some reaping.
Has he asked for a day off work yet? That bit's quite fun. There are still a few good twists left in the story though.
I'm currently plowing through my discworld collection and I've got as far as lords and ladies. Currently, Magrat thinks she's doing a good thing, by removing the iron from around this girl who got hit by an elf's arrow. Magrat just dismisses the whole iron thing as superstition.
These books rock. I'd better read them quick, so I can read my christmas stuff, when they reach me.
Gods I feel like a kid in a sweet shop
Hehe.And yes that bit is funny when he asked for the day off. :D
So what else is on your bookshelf?

You mean the story books or the actual Rules for the rolpelaying games?
So many words... so little time to read them all.
Indeed......and I have less time to do anything. Ive got mocks coming up and I need to actually work hard.............school sucks :-(
They are the rule books. I don't hold with the stories about them, because they never seem to work when I roleplay similar situations
Im back online, I've judt been playing some GTA:San Andreas its really good but I dont know about you guys.Anyways Im going to try a new book,Im just going to go to the library and pick one at random (making sure its not one of thouse childs books that are 6+) and read it. :D
Yes, I'm into San Andreas, but I am still making enough time to plough through Lords and Ladies by Pratchett. I'm just getting to the good bit when the fight between the elves and the witches has got going.
Magrat has just proved she's one of the good guys, because she has just shot an elf at close range, through a keyhole with a crossbow. How uncouth.
Almost finished H2G2 by Adams and its got to me eventually, i struggled with it, the way it was written fucked my head up somewhat, but now im glad i read it. Im in the last few chapters about 50 pages left.
Hmm, on my bookshelf. Well im a Tolkien fanatic if you dont know, so most of his books are there.
LotR, (Fellowship, Two Towers, RotK)
The Silmarillion
The Hobbit
The Complete Tolkien Companion
Unfinished Tales
Farmer Giles of Ham
Leaf by Nigle
Some mixed books, with short stories and essays from Tolkien aswell.
Some books by Stephen King, quite alot aswell, some random books, a few quotations books, The most humourous quotes and the most insulting quotes, excellent reads by the way.
I dunno what books to get after i finish H2G2, any suggestions ?
Good selection there Crazy.And lol Frozen I saw your post to the 'Anti fag club' and yes you are right.Ah yes my random book,Its caled Silverwing by Kenneth Oppel and its about this young bat named Shade and his life its pretty good.

If you like fantasy 'similar' to LotR, I suggest that you try the Drenai novels by David Gemmell (Legend is book 1) or the Dragons of Pern by Anne McCaffrey.
Julian May's Saga of the Exiles (The Many Coloured Land) is about a group of people sent back one million years into our world's past. Human evolution has taken a step forward, and these people have Psionic abilities to help them out. That is a collection of two series of novels. You can read them in either way, but I think if you read the second series first, you will understand the exiles better. (Particularly the enigmatic character, Marc Remillard)
Happy reading.

If you like that sort of stuff you will like The Belgariad series of books by David Eddings or any of the books by Raynmond.E.Feist aswell.
To be honest guys, im not really looking for a series of books, but i will look into both of your suggestions. Any one off books to recomend instead, because i read all of it last night, now im done for reading until tommorow, no fucking bed time reading tonight, bugger...:(

Okay then try this one on for size. Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.
According to the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter - the world's only totally reliable guide to the future - the world will end on a Saturday.
Next Saturday, in fact. Just after tea...
Enjoy

No I haven't do extrapolate about the plot and maybe I'll give it a go.
