Well I got my copy of Freedom today, only to find that Franzen ripped off he post I made on the Minor Impediments thread about a trip to the chip shop last week.

Reading the new one by Terry Pratchett, I Shall Wear Midnight 

It's a Discworld featuring Tiffany Aching, who wasn't one of my favourite characters when she first appeared but has won me over in the intervening books.

I'm only 4 chapters in but this one seems to be going to some very dark places already. This one might be a hard slog, in the best possible way.

Just started Terminal by Brian Keene. Loving it so far - echoes of early King.

Reading the new one by Terry Pratchett, I Shall Wear Midnight  

Cool, I didn't know there was a new Tiffany Aching book.  My favourite Pratchett character (after Granny Weatherwax, of course), and probably his most thought-provoking books.

Just finished C J Sansom's Revelation, the fourth Shardlake book.  Phew, that was some pretty heavy stuff in places.  However, there were a few plot problems,[spoiler] for example:  when the murderer abandons his pedlar's cart outside Lincoln's Inns when he's confronted by the lads, it mysteriously reappears back in his workshop.  Okay, he's nuts, but did he really go back for it?[/spoiler].  That niggle aside, it was a superb read.  Trying to resist temptation to dash straight into the current one!

Okay, I read some of ...Midnight tonight and got genuinely very excited (not like that) at the growing realisation that none other than [spoiler]Esk     [/spoiler] was back. As an old school Discworld fan of very long standing it was a bit of a geek out moment for me.

I'll be honest, Granny was never a fave (relatively speaking,cos any Pratchett is gonna be great)and I was actually hoping she was gonna die in Lords And Ladies. (God, it seems like yesterday, these books have been going forever haven't they?). I've always been more of a City Watch guy myself.

That said, Tiffany has won me over to the witches stories and you're right about her being thought provoking. To say these books are supposedly aimed at a younger audience he is pulling no punches at all here. I'd say that what happens early on in this book is some of the worst (in a good way) stuff in Discworld ever.

 Got Best American Comics 2010 in the post today, I've just had a quick look in the contents and Gaiman's picked all the usual suspects (Crumb, Bagge, Ware, Beto) but Dash Shaw is nowhere to be seen which is farkin lame.

Sorry to hear that you're feeling shitty, Mogz. Hope you enjoy Zombie Brittanica- I thought it was rather special. Was it you who mentioned this a while ago, and I said that a good follow-up read would be Tomes of the Dead: Stronghold? If so, I still stand by that.

One great side effect is that when the little ones get their castles out, you can amuse yourself defending it from imaginary zombie attacks.
