Pratchett shakes fist at Rowling &; Tolkien

Henstoat, Check out Philip Pullman's Northern Light (see thread above this one). For my money, ten times better than Pratchett.

Was it Terry Pratchett who teamed up with Neil Gaiman to write: "Good Omens"? That was a funny book man.. I loved it.

funky_seagull:- Yes, Pratchett and Gaiman wrote 'Good Omens'. I've been reading Pratchett since I was at school, I still remember stealing 'The Colour of Magic' and 'The Light Fantastic' from under the librarians nose - and they still sit on my shelf stamped with my school's name. So that was back in 1987 and I was 16 then... so I'm neither an adolescent boy or a middle aged woman and he's still one of my favourite authors. Rowling is a bit too simplistic for my tastes and Tolkein was good when I was 13 or so but a bit long winded now..

"research shows that buyers (of Pratchett's books) consist of at least as many middle-aged women as adolescent boys". well, our adolescent boy has outed himself. time now for abc's middle-aged women to do the same. a show of hands, please.

Hey! I'm nearly 20! Legally, I'm an adult. ;-)

I have never bought a Pratchett and I never will.

Me neither.

true, H. and i never thought otherwise. now, do you want your double chocolate chip-choc ice cream with added chocolate or without?

With, please, and lots of it
