Thud! (for Pratchettarians)

[gauchecritic]

A new discworld saga with Vimes and the watch central. Anyone read it yet?

I'm not asking for spoilers just informing those who may not be in the know. I didn't even realise it had been released until last week when I bought it at Asda for £9.96 (R.R.P £19.99)

I have to force myself to stop reading after a while just to make it last longer otherwise it would be done in one go.

So far, so good.

Do you yanquies get similar book prices at Walmart?

 

[BlackShanglan]

Are we talking about Night Watch, or a new one?

 

[gauchecritic]

erm... Thud. Did I not make that clear? Thud. The title of the new book is Thud.

Sorry... Thud! (forgot the exclamation)

 

[BlackShanglan]

Ah, with you. I shall hunt it up.

[AppleBiter]

I'll put this one on J.'s Christmas list. He loves Pratchett.

I am not sure what Vimes are, other than a band maybe and Asda is a store? So where is the link so we can share in your excitement?

 

[Lucifer_Carroll]

Got it.

Got it signed.

Acted like a nervous doofus in front of one of my favorite writers.

I love my independent bookstore!

A book? Damn, I have not been to a store in WAY too long, have barely read in ages. Thanks Luc!

Lucky Bastard!

I love the Vimes stories, they're my favorites from the disc. I saw THUD! in the bookstore, but refuse to buy it in way overpriced hardback. I'll wait for the moderately overpriced paperback.

 

[BlackShanglan]

Is it wrong to want to shag Vimes senseless? It's complicated, at least, as I also like his wife ... but they don't seem the swinging type. Alas, the complications of erotic fantasies ...

Shanglan

What and leave poor Nobby out? Exclusionist.
I dated a gal in Germany whould cold have played Vimes' wife in a live-action movie based on discworld. A florid, spychotic, befreckled redhead with a temper that made bigger men than me quake in fear.

I love you.

 

[BlackShanglan]

I love you.

An entirely mutual impulse.

 

[English Lady]

Shanglan -Can I join in?vimes is kinda sexy in a rather disconcerting way *grins*though his wife does nothing for me, so you're welcome to her *chuckles*

I had a bit of a crush on Mort too, still do I guess. I love his sweet ineptitude

 

[Typo Fu Master]

I don't have it yet, but now that I know about it, I will. Pratchett is my most favorite author and I'm doing my best to collect the entire Discworld series.

I think I enjoy the books that center on Death and Susan the most, but Vimes and his merry crew are a close second.

'ello Typo -you gotta love Death. Death is my definite favourite, but the gaurds books just have something special about'em too

 

[gauchecritic]

since we're on the subject...

Angua... Woof!


That's why I mentioned Asda, Mack. They're owned by Walmart, so I was wondering if they sold books at half price too.

 

[English Lady]

My hubby would rather like a bit of Angua, though he's also partial to susan too

 

[gauchecritic]

Shang. You are talking about a Duke and Duchess, what's not to swing?

Apologie's to C (even though I never apologise) I thought everyone would know what the thread was specifically about, being as how I mentioned Pratchett in the title.

But then I forgot that we have some AHers who are so literarily above the common cloud that we often mistake them for the sun.
