Literature Freyas' all about books thread.

I do like reading, taking in information at high rates. I do however have a rule, my thinking has to always exceed my reading. People who read without thinking are dangerous to society.

I started reading this yesterday. I didn't even get through the first chapter, which isn't my style at all.
The emotion was too high, I still can't accept that this is it, this is the very last discworld novel that will ever be written by Sir Terry Pratchett.
This book ends a series which has been in my life since I was a teenager, they have been a big influence in my life.
This book ends it all.

For Esmeralda Weatherwax- mind how you go.

I was never a Pratchett fan, but I respect the hell out of your position. I felt the same way about Robert Lynn Asprin.
 
The sequel to 'The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O.', 'Master of the Revels' arrived today. Nicole Galland wrote this one without Neal Stephenson (one of my favourite writers ). Let's hope it's as good as the first one.

I've just picked this up from a local shop, the back cover really peaked my interest. Can't comment on it yet though, haven't started it! lol So I'll just leave the synopsis on the back cover that caught my eye and made me buy;
In upstate New York, in the woods around Woodstock, Dutchman's Creek flows out of the Ashokan Reservoir. Steep-banked, fast-moving, it offers the promise of fine fishing, and of something more, a possibility too fantastic to be true. When Abe and Dan, two widowers who have found solace in each other's company and a shared passion for fishing, hear rumors of the Creek, and what might be found there, the remedy to both their losses, they dismiss it as just another fish story. Soon, though, the men find themselves drawn into a tale as deep and old as the Reservoir. It's a tale of dark pacts, of long-buried secrets, and of a mysterious figure known as Der Fisher: the Fisherman. It will bring Abe and Dan face to face with all that they have lost, and with the price they must pay to regain it.
See what I mean, intriguing, right? lol
