'Heart Of Gold'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
Thanks, Connie. Makes sense.
ETA: holy hell! I guess I read the first line of the numbered paragraphs at the end and super skimmed. I just went back and reread; it's by far the most damning piece of the interview. I guess it's safe to say that she's crazy enough to be placed behind the walls in the crazy prison she imagines.
Tiffany is, hands down, my favorite Pratchett character of all time.
Yeah, absolutely. There's a reason I've been borrowing all the Discworld series ebooks, but buying the Tiffany Aching ones.
Well, her and Vimes. I love me some Vimes.
Thank you for all of the suggestions, everyone! I'm looking into several possibilities now.
(Side note: Kat, I used to teach TSLOB as a summer reading for this age level, and they did enjoy it--I'm looking for something more epic/high fantasy in nature at the moment, but I may return to it.)

Yeah; I have a hard time imagining why anyone would say anything like that for publication. Seriously? Seriously? (Picture Hardison there, looking baffled.)

Tiffany is, to my mind, Pratchett's most fully-fleshed female character. She satisfies my feminism in ways that none of his other women do (even the ones in Monstrous Regiment, which annoyed me for reasons I cannot recall at the moment).
Deborah Grabien had an encounter with Tepper years ago where Tepper told Grabien she was a betrayer of everything feminist for wearing makeup and (I think) high heels. Someone who wanted to search B.org deeply enough could find the exact quote.
Have you heard Stephen Briggs' audiobook, Jilli? I think you would find it a comfort.
I haven't! I do need to get those audiobooks, as being read to is one of the most comforting things in the world for me.

I didn't like that one either, and I'm not sure why. I think it tried too hard. Vimes being all ducal and surly was nice. He does good walk-ons.

You could probably check it out of the library.
And then, I don't know, put it on your computer and then your portable device of listening.
Or just buy it, I guess, since Pratchett should enjoy his royalties now.

Ding ding ding! If I don't spend all my money at the gothy/punk craft fair on Sunday, I'll buy it. After all, I'm only going to the show to buy more resin crow skulls. How much damage to my pocketbook could I do?
(Don't answer that.)

(What? It's not technically an answer. ... Okay, it is.)
