My hubbie loaned a colleague of his an early TP book. This is a guy who is a voracious reader, knows what he likes, and is something of a complete-ist. The day after he finished the book, he called Waterstones (US-ians, think Borders or Barnes & Noble) and the conversation went something like this:

"Hello, do you carry Terry Pratchett books?"

"Certainly Sir. Which titles would you like?"

"All of them."

"ALL of them? You do realise that's a very large number of books, Sir."

"That's fine."

"There are some we don't have in stock, Sir."

"I see. Would you please order them for me?"

"Certainly, Sir."

"Thank you. How much does that come to?"

Wish I could remember the amount to tell you here...

Apparently he managed to read the lot within two weeks.


Claire, BBC Radio has done lovely adaptations of a fair few of Pratchett's books (AaMOF, one of them, "Only You Can Save Mankind" (not a Discworld novel) is currently running on BBC Radio4Extra at midnight on Sat nights/Sun a.m.s

Hubbie & I have downloaded most (possibly all) of these; if you're interested in having them to listen to, let me know.
