We do, but we can't express it by shouting or depicting it in bold and large print. Games Workshop has copywritten that and thus no one else is allowed to do so without getting a C&D letter. So thanks Pilchard, thanks for getting the GW LawyerHounds after us. Why would you do that? Why do you hate us so?

I'm reading Howl's Moving Castle again, but that's because I forgot I had read it before

Loved that book, as well as most of what DWJ has written.
On a tangent, one wonders why Miyazaki bothered to license the film rights at all, since he obviously had a different story to tell.
I would have liked to see the story that DWJ wrote.

My partners are reading Truckers, and I read that as a child and listened to it read by Tony Robinson on tape. Remember little about it except a generally oppressive atmosphere.
They're talking me through what they're reading and they're like bolts of memory lightning. It's fabulous.
I'm also continuing my 'one on, one off' Discworld trawl. I'm currently reading Equal Rites.
I thought both Mort and Soul Music took a while to get moving, plot-wise, and a while for me to get into. But Discworld is such a rich world and Pratchett's prose so distinct that now I just feel like I'm picking up the same one book again and reading a bit more of it.
Discworld isn't that nice a place to be. But Pratchett's writing is. It's like therapy. The other day I was edging on a meltdown before work and I read a few pages of Equal Rites and felt all the tension leave my body.
I have some 30-odd more to read before I run out, but it will be a very sad day when I do.

Pratchett is one of the few authors I always turn to when I need a pick-up, and it always saddens me that more won't be forthcoming. But the Discworld spins on, I guess. I understand that there are going to be small-screen adaptations coming out with his daughter (who is an established author in her own right as well as being heiress to the IP) involved that I eagerly await.
