Well, then you should like my head snapping trick coming up? I'm not worried about the factory especially since you ate some of the Twinkies we gave everyone here (except ROOT) of course... we can take of you anytime ;D

May I point out that I have not/will not be eating any Twinkies or Twinkie derivitives.  I am in fact the underground anti Twinkie cell leader.  Or should I have kept that quiet? :P

Yeah, probably so... :-X

Oh, and chummers, The Last Hero is not his latest book. It is the large "storybook" format illustrated novel he did a year or so ago. It's the dimensions of a children's book, but thicker. THe first half of it is pretty crappy, since he is trying to combined all of his characters into the story: wizards, the watch, Rincewind, the witches, etc. So it is kind of rough and choppy. But once the storyline takes off, it gets really good. The very basic premise (trying not to give too much away) is that the Silver Hoard has decided to leave Hung Hung and have one last adventure, one they don't intend to return from. They intend to "take fire back to the gods." I highly recommend this one, if for no other reason than the last chapter with the Valkyries.

Wee Free Men and Night Watch I believe. I have them both if you would like to check them out. And by that I mean Check Them Out, not borrow them. My rates are reasonable, but my late fees are a bitch. ;)

They've hit the selves here already, I don't think Last Hero has, yet.

No, last Hero was first. I remember reading it and thinking he needed to do a better job next time. And then Night Watch came out. Maybe there is a publishing concern for Last Hero for European release??

I have Night watch. Don't have Wee Free Men. I'll get back with you on borowing it though since I just started Fifth Elephant and have Night Watch to read after that one :)

Nope... But I'm gettin' to it... After all - I have to (re)read his entire works before I have anything useful to say about them in my thesis...  ;)
