Rereading Jingo by Terry Pratchett. Probably should start on the mountainous stack of unfinished library books next. #165, don't give up on Henry James. I hated The Turn of the Screw, but Portrait of a Lady's really good.
... that one might be a bit difficult to follow without having read a Watch book or two (maybe Guards! Guards! and/or Jingo ), so you understand better who Sam Vimes is and why he's significant.

Jingo perhps - I seem to recall Vimes being less than pleased wth his ceremonial uniform in that one too.
I just finished Jingo ! I LOVED how Vetinari got a real part in that one! Him as a traveling vaudeville juggler guy!
And, of course, Nobby was PERFECT. I've never been particularly attached to Nobby and Colon, but they stole that book completely. What a random quartet, Vetinari, Leonard of ...
... As always, Pratchett writes with humor that, when inspected, reveals a great deal of valid social commentary.

I'm working on Jingo by Terry Pratchett, which is actually quite hefty for a Discworld book! And Anna Karenina, but that'll probably take me a year to finish because I tend to read only a chapter a week (I get too distracted by other, shinier books!)

... and I've already whizzed through about half of it in one evening! I'm also slogging through Anna Karenina, and I started Jingo by Terry Pratchett last night. School's been getting super busy lately, which is making me feel a little guilty about reading instead of doing homework... :D
I have not read Jingo

Jingo is read and reviewed. Not Pratchett's best work, but far from being bad - and very relevant to today's international politics.

No, it's not the Riot Act. That's for home.
I've almost finished Jingo , and even though i'm over Pratchett, this was pretty good. It was nice to stumble across the quote that i've seen quite a few times now:

Turns out that i was hallucinating and i don't have a copy of The Book of Lost Things. I've started reading Jingo instead, because it's easy and i want to get rid of it.
Guards! Guards, Men at Arms, Feet of Clay, Jingo , and The Fifth Element - all part of the Watch Novels by Terry Pratchett. They are some of the funniest books, ever.

In the middle of Jingo now, I love Sam Vimes, he's working his way into my top 5 favorites characters. I'm hoping they'll give more depth to Carrot in this one, too.
... probably Soul Music, probably because it was my first but I like Last Continent and Hogfather too.
My least fav is Jingo , I had to start reading it 3 times before I got through it, and I've never revisited it (i've read most of the others at least twice) I don't think I got it.

#71 - A cryptic message if I ever read one.

I have to admit, I wasn't instantly hooked, but when I picked up a copy of Jingo back in 1997 the writing seemed rather familiar, so I went back to Hogfather and re-read it. Been addicted ever since.
Favourite books so far include Reaper Man, ...

Some of my personal favourites are The Truth, Thief of Time, The Fifth Elephant, Soul Music, Jingo , and Hogfather. The young adult Discworld books The Wee Free Men, A Hat Full of Sky and Wintersmith are excellent too, well worth reading.
