I finally finished Pratchett’s “The Color of Magic” – I read the second half of the book in one weekend. Overall, I liked it, especially the second half but I’m not really inspired to pick up other Discworld novels. To me this book seemed to be a cross between Douglass Adams and the Princess Bride. On to “Stardust” next. Hopefully, I’ll have more time to read it.

My computer occasionally cooperates, even as I have to hold it steady sometimes, but I did manage to put together mysticism lecture for tomorrow with Powerpoint. But I did get frustrated with it in the evening and went to edit my History Big Bang story on my parent’s computer. I still need to write about 3,000 words but I think I can make it to deadline.

I think you might like the Death sequence (particularly the Susan novels), the Witches sequence, or the Guards sequence better than the Wizards books.

(Did I already tell you this? I feel like I have.... Just in case: Discworld Reading Guide. On the Death sequence, Hogfather is probably my favorite; I'm not a huge fan of Mort, although it has some background for the Susan sequence [it's too long ago for me to comment about whether there's enough context in the Susan books to skip Mort]. I could never get into the Witches sequence, but a lot of people adore them.)
