Thanks, Gar.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
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."

Do you need my address, Hec? Can't remember if I gave it to any of y'all while I was there.

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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Can anyone point me to a good online list of the reading order of Terry Pratchett's books?

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.
