Available to pre-order now and due for release next week (2nd September) is Terry Pratchett’s latest Discworld book “I Shall Wear Midnight”. Technically it isn’t part of the normal Discworld flow of novels as it is part of a side-line ‘young adult’ series, however I’m still counting it and the central character, young witch Tiffany Aching, is as established as any other Discworld character. I’ve ordered my copy.. go get yours and we’ll compare notes. Amazon seems to be the best price around and have free delivery – see the link to the left. If you want a signed copy then you’ll need to visit the official web site and pay full price + delivery.
Discworld: Done
January 8th, 2009 No Comments »Finally I am now up to date with all things Discworld having finished the most recent novel “Making Money” last night. I have to say it was one of his best and I look forward to the next episode of Moist von Lipwig’s adventures if indeed one should ever appear.. the rumour mill suggests it is called “Raising Taxes” however there are other Discworld stories underway featuring more traditional Discworld characters and may be published before that one (Unseen Academicals may be next, about The Wizards’ new football team). Next stop in the Discworld is “The Science of Discworld 3: Darwin’s Watch”, maybe I’ll have a break from Pratchett for a few months before I start that though as it isn’t a normal novel, more a mixture of science theory and a comparison with all things magic and octarine.
Discworld…
