Hello
Mark here. As a kid living in England way back when i remember watching the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy on TV, years later i read the book. Even more years later someone told me if i enjoyed Douglas Adams i would enjoy Terry Pratchett, i had never heard of him, wikipedia tells me he is from Bucks, i was born near Aylesbury. So i borrowed the Colour of magic from the library....just fell instantly in love with the writing style of this very funny, intelligent man. So i am working my way through the Discworld series, having read the first three and Mort is next. Also two thirds of the way through the Bromelaid triology.
oh and by the way i am married with three kids and two big dogs and live in eastern Canada

Hi Mark.
On with their heads! I'm the clown prince of fools
if you don't get the joke it's your loss
Love and laughter you see are the new currency
'cause greed's coinage is not worth a toss

Hellooo and welcome Mark. You're in for a real treat, in my opinion, the the books and writing just get better and better from Mort onwards.
The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense.

Welcome all Newbies since the last time I posted on this thread!!
Some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them.
The rest of us are a bit crap.

Welcome to the forum Mark!
A poster outside one shop urged people to Dig For Victory, as if it were some kind of turnip.
