I know Strata is not a Discworld book.
All I want to know is should I buy Strata next Monday along with The Wit andf Wisdom of Discworld or should I just buy TWW because everyone says Strata is terrible.

Wit and Wisdom is crap, a total waste of money

Buy Strata it's really good and you get to see Terry working out Dscworld before he wrote any of the books

I enjoyed it, it's not one of his best but i thought once it got going it was quite good. I think it depends how much you would get it for...

Well there both £5.
I love TWW I read it last year.

Wit and Wisdom is just a collection of bits of the novels. Strata is a seperate story in its own right. There's a big difference between the two.

I thought Strata was very good, well worth reading.

I'm reading strata right now, I've been quite enjoying it but I can't seem to really sit down and read it for any reasonable length of time.

I might have a copy at home that you can HAVE.

Good concepts, but Strata didn't grab me.

by **Bouncy Castle** » Thu Sep 22, 2011 12:32 pm

Nor me.

Nor did the Dark Side of the Whatsit, either.

I read starta and darkside just to complete the set and enjoyed them . Not a patch on Terrys other works but still readable. On the other hand i love the carpet people, The Bromeliad and Nation which are all non dw
