re: Libba Bray's The Sweet Far Thing, I really *ought* to re-read the first two books, but I'm too impatient to do so. I want to know what happens. And, at the same time, I don't want it to end. I'm about 100 pages into the 800+ pages, and Bray has done a really good job of bringing in things from the previous books so that I remember them without being bludgeoned by heavy-handed exposition.
Like Fee's rotten father. Feh on him. I totally forgot what a vile shit he is. I hope Bad Things happen to him.
....and that's all I've got, so far, other than wondering where the hell Kartik is.
Hey, Facebook buffistas! Why aren't every single one of you on iRead?
David, I'll put some cards around Marin for you.
Can anyone point me to a good online list of the reading order of Terry Pratchett's books?
There's [link]
I like published order, myself. [link]

Thanks! That's what I was looking for. I couldn't find a complete updated list.
I think Jingo is my favorite Pratchett, it's got almost perfect Vimes-Vetinari interaction.
I so adore Vimes, in all his righteous Vimesness.
Just fyi, I was over at Smart Bitches Trashy Books and they've discovered that Cassie Edwards lifted entire passages from older books (non-fiction, describing Native American life, customs, etc.) and incorporated them wholesale into her "books" (such gems as Savage Thunder, Savage Wind). One source was an article on ferrets (which has me completely boggled). They're screaming plagairism (in addition to their usual complaints of bad writing). If you want to watch a kerfuffle, without being actually involved, it might be entertaining. It's also been mentioned in fandom wank.
Really? Oh, ouch. I'm guessing it won't get the same kerfuffle that the Janet-Dailey-ripping-off-Nora-Roberts plagarism thing got several years ago, though.
