I love Terry Pratchett's books, and have read Regiment. Also, he's written Wee Free Men, which I think is new too, and is a good read.

Of the Discworld Series I'd have to say some of my favorites include (but are not limited to):

Small Gods
Men At Arms
The Hoghfather
The Light Fantastic & The Color of Magic
Mort
Soul Music
&
The Fifth Elephant

... to name a few. Though I would most certianly have to say that Death is my most adored character.

I LIKE KITTENS.
&
I COULD MURDER A CURRY.

Pratchett has built a wonderfully coloured and detailed world in his series, The Discworld. A Fantasy set to rule all time...

Oh, how I adore the Watch. Vimes, Detrius, Carrot...

Too much to name. I love it all.

Sadly I've not paid much attention to Pratchetts latest developments. All the same, lemme know if and when you find said info.

I found my newsletter but haven't found where it says about the movie yet but I'm going to post something for the English people while I'm reading it...

The Abbots Langley Players are doing a play of Pratchett's Guard's Guards! It's at The Henderson Hall, runs March 17th thru 20th at 7:45pm. Tickers are 6 pounds, concession 5pounds and box office 01923 449665

Abbots Langley is about midway between Watford and St. Albans. The nearest realway station is Kings Langley - about 25 minutes ride from Euston.

I figured I'd post that since.. well I have no clue if anyone interested is close enough to go on such short notice... if you aren't close enough.. sorry for teasing you :(
