The new Terry Pratchett novel (Thud!) is out now!
He's got a reading coming up at Booksmith (in SF) too.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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."

I am sure Terry Pratchett's new book is not in fact titled, "Thud!" but now I deeply want somebody overly verbose yet funny and self-aware to write a book so titled.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Whee!
Damn it.
I know what I'm spending my yard sale earnings on now.

I must wait and not buy it until my next flight, as Pratchett makes excellent airplane reading.
Mind you, that's only a week away. Still hard, dammit.

I just started The Geographer's Library >[link] and I think I like it a lot. It reminds me some of Dictionary of the Khazaars and some of Jorge Luis Borges.
