Calling Terry Pratchett fans...
Aug. 11th, 2008 03:11 pm...why did anybody not warn me that Discworld could be addicting?!
I usually hate e-books. You have to read them in a computer screen and it hurts your eyes after a while. Then I realized that I can load the damn things onto my DS lite and thus made them less irritating.
The first thing I had loaded were the 29++ Discworld novels.
I finished SEVEN novels in THREE days. Not. HEALTHY. especially for thesis. Curse my speed-reading ability.
I managed to regulate myself to one novel per 3 days. Currently on the 11th discworld novel (well, the order doesn't really matter, it seems).
My verdict, though: Fucking hilarious. Extremely distilled British humor warning. It seems, what Adams did in Hitchhiker's Guide for Sci-fi, Pratchett did for Fantasy. Also, I concluded after ERIC that Wizards=resident Otakus in Discworld. Summoning demons just because you're desperate to meet girls? Take two baths and maybe you can get them to slap you. Might not be much, but it's physical contact 8D.
