And since we can't find copies from the Rincewind storyline, we proceed with the Night Watch.
Men at arms
Goddamn likeable Carrot.

Currently reading 'Murder with Puffins'
Gah... I really feel like reading fantasy right now but I already started this series and I feel I have to finish it before I move on to something else >_O
It's not bad though I guess, loads better then the last murder-mystery series I read as that one was just kinda horrible...

Occult Reich, it's full of "facts" about Hitler and his mystical abilities such as ESP.  |

Sunday I'll get my claws on Faust/Eric and Interesting times.
Sadly Feet of Clay was unavailable (in fact the only one in the Watch branch that is missing), so Vimes, Carrot and Angua will have to wait.

...I actually have an extra copy of 'Feet of Clay' that I don't know what to do with <.<; (Had a copy already but found another in an used bookstore with the original cover) I wonder what postage to Argentina is like  (Note: I'm serious, if you want it) |

A friend from work lent me "Collapse" by Jared Diamond. I'm reading during the day. It's a non-fiction about how once great societies have collapsed and what ramifications it may have in today's world. It's about as exciting as reading that last sentence was. It's...marginally interesting, but if it gets into a bad stretch of crappiness, I'm quitting. At least I made it through the part about Montana.
At home or when I'm going to bed I'm re-re-reading "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" collection, because it really is that good.

Are books 5 & 6 good? I've only read up to the end of Wizard & Glass. I kinda want to know how it ends, but my brother said that 5-7 weren't worth buying. |

Reading "The Name of the Wind". Normally I've been so sick of fantasy, but, it's actually pretty amazing. I haven't really enjoyed a book this thoroughly since Ender's Game, though to be fair I don't read a lot.

Well, I've been here several times before. I dunno how it works either, but it's probably complicated enough that your willingness will run out and since I won't be pushing the issue you'll forget about it entirely. But thanks for the initial gesture anyway. I'm sure my friend will find it eventually. In the mean time, Interesting Times is about done. I found it bothersome that a few characters show up with little to no explanation about their origins. Well, specifically Ponder Stibbons. I read he showed up first in Moving Pictures, so I might tackle the pdf once I'm done with this. ... and Umineko, that's starting to make eyes at me. I should at least finish the fourth and final chapter of the first arc. |

Eh, offer's still on the table, better it goes to someone who would appreciate it rather then selling it back to a bookshop for a dinky $1.50
If willing I would just need an address so I can find out just how much postage would be, apparently there's a special cheap rate for books and if a book three times the size of a trade paperback goes to Canada for only $6 I wouldn't think Argentina would be that much more

Everything and anything Neil Gaiman. Particularly "Neverwhere" and "American Gods". |

Taking a break from my bird mysteries to read some of the Johnny Maxwell books (couldn't get the third for some reason)
As far as Gaiman goes, just be warned that all his novels are basically the same book with slightly different setting and characters <.<;
Don't get me wrong, they are still enjoyable and I've read each and everyone of them, but yeah...

Don't worry, "American" here refers more to "modern day/contemporary" than "Specifically related to the USA".

Really the only books in the serise I haven't liked were Drawing of Three and Wizard & Glass 5 is pretty alright and wasn't the chore Wizard & Glass was, I think King should never attempt romance again, I breezed though 6 and made me really want to read 7 |
