Return of the Rogue Readers discussion

This book made me laugh more than any book in recent memory. I think I am going to have to read the next one, at least.

That's probably a good idea, Jordan. What were some of the things you found funny? I enjoyed the fact that the book ended on a literal cliffhanger. I lol'ed!

Yes, Other Jordan, that was great. The book began and ended with a lol from me. During the prologue the book mentions the theories about A'tuin. The religious one, in particular, tickled me. "The Big Bang."

Indeed, Jordan! When I heard that part I knew I made a wise choice in this book. I had to rewind the audiobook to make sure I heard it correctly.

What an amazing story. Such a vivid imagination. Jordan and O.J.(Other Jordan), what was your favorite location in the story? Mine would have to be Wyrmberg. Apart from the fact that Wyrmberg is an Upside down floating mountain, i love the fact that you can imagine dragon's into reality. Also, out of all the fantastic characters from Tethis the water troll to Twoflower and/or his luggage. Who would you consider your favorite character and why? I'm still thinking about the latter.

I believe I speak for both of us when I say that we enjoyed the idea of The Circumfence the most. I don't like the deep ocean and I don't like heights and this has both!

I think the luggage is my favorite character. It's unique and it reminds me a little bit of the TARDIS. How about you?

Do you plan on reading any of the other books?

Yes, I do plan on reading more of the Discworld series.

The Circumfence, I wonder what other guardians protect the other area's of The Circumfence.

I can definitely see the similarities between the luggage and the TARDIS.

I am partial to Twoflower myself. His spirit of adventure, while a bit naive at times, seems to help progress the story well.

How about dislikes? Was there anything you just didn't enjoy? I can't think of anything offhand, nothing stuck out to me as bad or poorly done. That's the thing about humorous works, they can get away with a lot more.

I think I will read the next book. Not right away, but eventually. From what I gather the first two books could have been one book.

I believe that's the route the film's took. They combined the first two books into a movie.

I really can't think of anything I didn't like either. It was an all around fun read.

I'm curious what other character's we'll meet in the future installment's. Such a vivid imagination is sure to surprise again.

Holy Crap.

I have read the entire Disk world series, and most of Sir Terry's other works (currently working through his Long Earth colaboration with Stephen Baxter).

If you enjoyed the Color of Magic, read the Light Fantastic, and then please try Night Watch next.

Or, pop over here and pick one of 41 novels that have to do with the Discworld...

Mike, I intend to in the future. I recently read Good Omens, a joint venture between Pratchett and Neil Gaiman (one of my favorite authors) and was very pleased. Have you read that?

Terry Pratchett had several stand alone Discworld books. Mort is fun stand-alone, so is Soul Music. And Going Postal.

I came across Good Omens somewhere in the middle of my read through of Terry's stuff, and it introduced me to Neil Gaiman, and led to American Gods, or Anansi Boys I think.

I thoroughly enjoyed Good Omens, and I'll probably revisit it later this year.
