I'm glad I was born when I was born, and live where I live. The fates were kind.


dxb...there is another new Pratchett you may not have heard of "The Wee Free Folk." For some reason they put it in the adolescent section instead of the SciFi/Fantasy section. It is funny.

I am an AVID Pratchett fan and have most of his books - including the collaboration with Gaiman "The Nice and Accurate Prophesies of Agnes Nutter, Witch" and I truly enjoy them, but I found the Monstrous Regiment to be preachy rather than the usual humourous you get from Discworld novels.

I read SciFi/Fantasy for entertainement and feel affronted with this type of heavy-handed preachyness.

(oops, let me get off my soapbox now )
