And even if you're not a fan -- you should read it.
Very amusing stuff, P-C.
So that's my dream. That and some stuff about cigars and a tunnel.

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
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."

Re the O'Brian - it's also backshadowing (if such a word exists) of the hilarious bit in The Mauritius Command where Jack is convinced his daughters are retarded in some way.

Well, the only way that would work when the goal is to read the book the instant it comes out would be if I were lucky enough to be one of the first twenty or so people to put it on hold. Takes a lot of luck with anything popular.
I put holds on the new HPs on DW's library account and my own at the same time. That way we get the books at the same time, and marital bliss endures. Then we buy one at Costco when the craze dies down.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

YAY!!! One of the things I like best about Pratchett is that although he is a satirist, he rarely comes across as mean.

The trend toward dispensing plot for porn reaches it's apotheosis.

I know. I mean, really, why not title it "The Joy Of Sex With Anita"?

Well, I finished the first 3 LKH books, and there's precious little sex in any of them. I think she holds hands once or twice.
