Heehee, that's how I got introduced to Pratchett... Sis bought 'Feet of clay' shortly before my exams, since the cover read 'Like Tolkien with gags' I was of course very curious. So I started reading, thinking: "Hey, I just read the first chapter or so."
And of course Pratchett doesn't do chapters. I barely made it through my math-exam... But I finished the book that one day. However, I still haven't read 'Hat full of sky'. I'm so proud of myself.

Well you're very strong. I finished with my exam on Fryday and I'm already nose first in the books

Oh, I am still with my nose in the books. I just try to be a little selective in which books I read now so I can keep the best for on holiday.

eep. Have not even heard of Hat Full of Sky yet... I am SO out of the book-loop.
What's it about? |

I haven't read it yet, but judging by the cover and the text on the back, it's the sequal of 'A wee free men'.

Hat Full of Sky is indeed a sequel to Wee Free Men. It's quite good. More tiny blue guys.
I have never been able to resist the Pratchetturge when it comes calling. So far I've read every Discworld book. Usually in a day or less. Work does not get done on those days. (Eärniel, I'm impressed you got through your math exam ).

Ah. That's what I'll read at my job. I'm going through books ridiculously fast, but can't read any of my histories because it takes more focus than I can have while being interrupted by tourists every other minute. Yay Pratchett.

I've found out I had 'Monstrous Regiment' on my book shelf and still hadn't read it, so I'm taking it on holiday next month. I'll save 'A Hat full of Sky' for later. But I got 'The Last Hero' as a belated birthday gift and I finished it that same day. And God I'm jealous of the awesome art work! I want to be that good!

Sir Terry Pratchett died today.
Sad, sad day. There's no counting how much this man has changed my life for the better. |

Sad indeed. I got choked up looking at his last few tweets...
