Description

Welcome to the Drum! Sit down, order a drink and post a message. This is a club for discworld fans to discuss the best books in the world!
When writing messages in the group (or by email) the whole of the message you're replying to will be copied as a quote automatically. Please delete this, leaving in sentances only if you want to respond to them specifically. It's really annoying if everyone has to read/scroll through the same message three or four times because it is been quoted in all the replies, and replies to those replies.
