[...Born]

Yeah, what JvB said.  I read them in publication order then re-read them in chronological order.  The only issue might be that if SSR is Born or SSR Gets Drafted mightn't grab you as a start point quite the same way TSSR does, but once you're over that hurdle you should be grand.

I'd say you're always better off reading them in publication order. I didn't think ...Born was up to the standard of the earlier books at all and a quick look at the wikipedia entry inidicates that there are now twice as many books as when I first read them.

Well I finished ...gets born and I enjoyed it muchly. If that's not one of the better books in the series it looks like I'm in for a treat.

I've also been reading Pratchett's Tiffany Aching books. Great fun as is usual for Sir Terry. One of things I've enjoyed about Pratchett's latest books is the wee bit at the end where he explains all the wee bits of real folklore he smuggled in. Apparently he's written a book on folklore, which I'm going to add to my 'to read' list.

Do you not have mirrors in Oireland?

No, because we literally fight with our own reflections

Trek is a special kind of wet fart that no other show could ever replace.

I knew you'd understand

Trek has a special place in my heart that no other show could ever replace

Because of this thread and the sense of high regard this forum seems to have for the series, I decided to give Harry Harrison's Stainless Steel Rat a try.

I wasn't dissapppointed.

I started with A Stainless Steel Rat is Born. I've decided to read the series in chronological order, and I would like to know what those that are familiar with the books think of this approach. Also, are there reprints of the adaptations from the prog?

aww but lolsfox is lols x

Lols about lolsfox is lols

And so forth

The world would be a better ace if crybabies stopped whining about evry little thing that they found offensive ;p

As a black lesbian dwarf with dyslexia, I disagree.

You think it's ok to list off those put-upon minoties, just to make a point? You sir, are a bounder and a cad!

fox is lols fox.

Don't anybody start calling me that.

Rookie mistake, Lolsfox

SBT

Can we all just agree that SBT wins and move on?

Also, a wee suggestion for Judo: you could let the winner choose the next image to be captioned? I'm not trying to tell you how to run your competition (great idea by the way), but it would give you the chance to enter the contest yourself

if anyone is offended-

DON'T FUCKING READ THE THREAD, YOU MORON.

there... said it. now can we stop the bullshit and get on with the funnies?

I find this post unneccessary and ofennsive and I think Modpleton should ban Deever forever more

I'd like to think Brett wouldn't mind us appreciating/reviving his work even in the context of a harmless gag. Besides Brett isn't in the picture, it's Judge Dredd and a bunch of other fictional characters depicting a fictional situation that doesn't comment on anything in particular that happens to be drawn by Brett Ewins.

I don't care. I'm writing to the Daily Mail!

If we're being careful to avoid offence, I would like to clarify that I don't think Roger's mum has a big arse.
   Or Judo, of course.

But the rest of us do? Is that how it is?

We'd have Ro-Jaws cleaning the bogs. Obviously.
