And to bracket you, Pinko, Pratchetts number 40, Raising Steam which I know isn't it.

I don't understand the critism of that book. Yes, not as many footnotes/quips/immediate funnies. But Sir T has matured. And to my mind is writing more thoughtful novels.

Guido.

PS. Just finished reading #40.
Sorry no guess. No idea.

31pinkozcat
Déc 7, 2013, 11:55 pm

I have read 17% of #40 but haven't deleted it from my e-reader so I may get back to it sometime. I really haven't liked his later books all that much but so far I have finished what I started so there is still hope.

Thanks, pinko, for the reminder. And I suppose that with all the different time zones, the weekend quiet can escalate.

This suggested that the Universe had probably been put together in a bit of a rush by an underling while the Supreme Being wasn't looking, in the same way that Boy Scouts' Association minutes are done on office photocopiers all over the country.

127pinkozcat
Fév 2, 2014, 9:25 am

But since the universe was a bit of a mess, it was obvious that the Supreme Being hadn't in fact made it. If he had made it he would, being Supreme, have made a better job of it, with far better thought given, taking an example at random, to things like the design of the common nostril. Or, to put it another way, the existence of a badly put-together watch proved the existence of a blind watchmaker. You only had to look around to see that there was room for improvement practically everywhere.

So, reasoned Koomi, it was not a good idea to address any prayers to a Supreme Being. It would only attract his attention and might cause trouble.

Well, it really has gotten quiet here. No worries, we've got time. Allthough, guessing (or knowing) will not bring forth the wrath of Om, or be an abomination unto Nuggan. You have my word.

Thank you ronincats, even though you didn't get it right.

Try to recall where the Street of Small Gods is, that'll get you closer.

Not Going Postal, though it shares similar thematics as the book in question.

A nice easy one to tempt people back to this thread.

I mean, his lordship says we've got two hippos, which is right enough, I'm just saying it's not natural for Roderick and Keith.

As an additional hint, allow me to point out that Joanna is definitely on the right track. I really didn't think this one would be difficult.

If I remember rightly, it’s usually followed by Nanny paying for something with strangely warm coins … Maskerade? (If I’m right, someone else take my go.)
