yeah terry pratchett’s quality, ive just started re-reading some of his books, think ive read pretty much everyone he’s done. Not sure what the most recent one is tho?

Does phillip pullman write the same sort of stuff? might have to check him out. Any specific ones you recommend?

I’d say Terry pratchett has much more humor in his books,

I’ve read a lot of the discworld ones and remember laughing out load,
The northern lights isnt like that – easy to follow the different worlds and charachters and I found I got quite into it all but wouldnt compair the 2 personally

Huge Terry Pretchett fan here too! :bounce_g: But didn’t you hear that he’s been diagnosed with altzimers disease? so dunno how many more discoworld books we’re going to get. 😥

Had ‘Naked Lunch’ by Burroughs reccomended to me, so I might check that out next.

Oh yeah, big LoTR fan too, has anyone read the *new* book? It’s made partially from Tolkiens notes i think.

I do the same 😉
read it through in my head with what I believe could possibly sound glaswegian!
Have read all his books but didnt like filth too much
saw him talk last year and was suprised as his accent wasnt what I’d think it’d be and didnt swear once :laugh_at:

I’ve seen it in bookshops a lot, but i haven’t even picked it up , i’m kinda hoping someone tells me if it’s worth reading or not.

Just finished My Revolutions – Hari Kunzru which is a cracking good story about a 60s revolutionary who’s been on the run for the past 30 odd years.

Tip for the summer, Sewerside Chronicles – By Tim Lay. Lucky enough to have read an advance copy. Well funny and got some bang on observations about alternative/underground culture.

I’m always trying to read. Life is too short, so you have to get in as much as possible while you can. Some of my faves as I remember them+ that havent been mentioned

Requiem for a dream-Hubert Selby Junior-will blow you away
A scanner darkly-Philip K Dick + anything else by Phil-they have made so many films from his stories.
The rise and fall of the third chimpanzee-Jared Diamond-human evolution described in layman terms.
Neuromancer-wiliam gibson

almost forgot-anything and everything by Michael Moorcock
+ loads more
