One of my mates was at me all through high school to read some Terry Pratchett and I didn't get around to it until earlier this year when I bought Thud and now I'm wondering where he has been all my life. Since then I've also read Carpe Jugulum, Feet of Clay and I'm currently ploughing through the Truth. Pratchett has a fantastic sense of humour and limitless creativity. He could write about dumpster bins and I'd still read it.
Being a student, I'm too poor to buy them new from bookshops and I'm constantly scouring Trademe (NZ's auction site) for anything Pratchett but I'm devouring his books faster than I can buy them... so if anyone wants to donate any to me by international post, I'm all ears.
