Well im 60 pages into The colour of magic and im not really liking it at all. It has got nothing on Hogfather so far. The story just seems to be all over the place. Im finding it really hard to get into and enjoy.

Keep with it, as a lot that follows will then make sense! Trust Meerkat on this Benkins!

Terry was writing a very different style of book with the first two. They were very much more parodies of the Fantasy genre. They get a lot better.

I had to give up on the colour of magic I found it far too dull. I have decided to give equal rites a go.

Tesco are pretty good value but I was going to buy the new one on the Iphone because it's just so handy to carry on the train etc, I read the sample from there. Although It's lovely to have the object of the book and going to a bookshop, I find I read so much more if I can just download it quickly.
Anyway was stopped from buying that because I'm getting it as a gift. Really looking forward to it. His last book Unseen Academicals was brilliant, very enjoyable but like all of his books I read it too quickly.

[Tonyblack]

Reading too quickly isn't a problem, because you ARE going to reread them - aren't you?

Seriously, there is so much you will have missed that a rereading is essential.

[Mycroft Vimes]

Like most of my other books,with a few exceptions i got in actual bookstores(Good Omens for one if i remember correctly) my whole discworld-series and non-discworld TP novels i get online from http://www.bol.com.
Good large selection,very reasonable shippingcosts,payment after delivery.

I get the reading too quickly though,sort of savouring and rationing it.
When i came to the last few i hadn't read yet,i did try to slow it down too...albeit with a limited degree of succes.

[Chootastic]

Through several methods. Everyone im related to has worked out im a big fan. So I get them given to me a lot. Also i trawl charity shops, and use amazon's penny deals. Not to mention L-Space!

Welcome to the site, Chootastic!

Chapters, in Dublin. I get a lot of them second-hand there, and they give you vouchers if you spend a certain amount, and you can sell books to them They also have nifty gifts. I love that shop.

Chapters is in my top five favourite places. Its fanatastic. Best History section in the city and best second shop in the country

I did some Christmas shopping there. The new China Mieville book, The Fairy Feller's Masterstroke jigsaw, and another Penguin mug and a little teddy bear bookmark

[Homeless Hublander]

I normally get mine for about a fiver from amazon as the paperbacks - because the first one I read was paperback I now have a certain affection for those flimsy little tomes
cheers,
Hublander.

Welcome Ben!

I agree £7.99 is a bit steep, especially as you can usually pick up a brand new first edition hardback (when they are first released) for as little as £9.95.

You might want to look online for cheaper paperbacks.

You can buy new first edition hardbacks for £9.95.
Snuff cost me 25.50euro in Waterstones the day it came out

Why go to waterstones then

[Tonyblack]

Don't you have something like Tesco over there? Play.com would probably do it a lot cheaper with free delievery.
