Speaking of Goodreads and LibraryThing - here's my obligatory Allyson pimpery: if you have accounts on either or both, own a copy of
Sam
and love it, please make a note of it!
Your local indie publisher and royalty-starved yet awesome Buffista author will thank you.
Sox, I bought
Machine of Death
on the Amazon day (and used the buffista affiliate link!) but haven't had a chance to read it yet, so remind me and I'll loan it to you.
ETA: Slumbernut. And I'm "Raq" on GR.
Thanks to the people who added me on Goodreads; I have friends there now! I also just made a feeble attempt to re-rate all the books I've read - I hand out five stars like candy. I just really like a lot of what I read.
Random question inspired by some books I was looking at in the library today: Is anyone a Discworld fan? I've read Good Omens, which I love, but that's only half Pratchett, and then we started reading Monstrous Regiment, one of the Discword books, in a class once but we didn't finish.
I think they would be books I'd very much enjoy but there's just so damn many of them, I wouldn't know where to begin.
Is anyone a Discworld fan?
I love Discworld. And coincidentally enough, I just went through the Watch books, which are as good a place to start as any. Otherwise, take a look at the reading order guide.
My favorites are
Thief of Time
and
Hogfather.
My first book was
Lords and Ladies.
Really, you can pick up any book and enjoy it.

I highly recommend his Tiffany Aching books, about a girl witch's education.
The first one
The Wee Free Men
is both very good and very, very funny.
This strikes me as being about us.
got my new Nook color and need to add contacts so i can abuse the lend me feature. oh and ita? how does the checking library books out function work?
Reading _Feed_ and every time Buffy is mentioned i picture a teenage Penelope Garcia. I just can't help it.
Ha! Seanan hasn't seen the show, but I showed her a picture, and she can totally see it.
There is a new picture book out called Spork. I'm thinking of getting it for my cousin's son.
