You all know I hate being serious. However it has been reported that pterry has been critical of the success of someone called J K Rowling. This followed a...
... Brian, check out Neil Gaiman's blog in response to this - his take on it is pretty similar to yours. http://www.neilgaiman.com/journal/journal.asp scroll...
I agree with you. It didn't sound to me like Pterry was ragging on Rowling... it sounded like he was irritated with the idiots who don't seem to know what...
Great link, Cat! I also followed the ones Neil gave to Pterry's speech and an annoying article about the speech... all excellent! Sounds like the journalists...
I recall several cases of interviews with both TP and JKR in which they support each other's work. I don't think TP was angry at JKR either. Well - sinse when...
I was cruising thru emails at Yahoo's Infantile Spasms group (some folks reeeeeally know how to have fun, eh?) and saw a link to this device. "Rensselaer...
Not sure what you're talking about, unless it's the retrophernologist. Not really close, but then again, there wasn't anything about physical head problems or...
I get it. "Cooling a small region of the brain" like Detritus' special helmet to make his smarter! Susan [Not Death] ... [Non-text portions of this message...
I thought Detritus' special helmet was in "Feet of Clay"... can't think of anything to do with the brain in "Jingo"... whatever, Luci ... special ... ...
And Pterry has responded to the Times article, Here's the good man himself, and in his own words, rather than some incompetent journalist's spin on them. ...
Yay! My complete inability to remember all these little details means it's a good time to re-READ these wonderful DW books! There's always a silver lining --...
Yes, it was Detritus' helmet of which I was thinking. My books are packed up at the mo whilst I wait a chance to reorganize (hah!), but I'm pretty sure he...
He did, but it was still invented in Men At Arms. ... Yasmin ;-) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail...
I'm new, love Discworld, Terry Pratchett is a literary god, yadda yadda yadda. The 2006 Discworld Convention in England. Who's going? Anyone in or near...
Hi Larissa. I wish you'd given us some idea of your age -- you haven't updated your Yahoo profile since 2001, BTW -- but it's not desperately important. I...
Oh, golly, sorry! I'm 21 on the 21st; next Sunday! ^___^ Which is one of the big reasons I want to go to the convention: I'll turn 22 on the last day!...
It's Larissa again. I want to make a LiveJournal icon of Vertinari (that you, "Night Watch," for the correct pronunciation of his name) and I need a quote...
Hi Disc lovers, been a while since i've posted. I've just downloaded pterrys colour of magic (spoken word)into my ipod via itunes. I was so looking forward to...
*blink* I didn't even know that anybody besides Tony had ever done a Pterry audiobook. I think I would have the same reaction you did. Somehow, I can't see...
In fairness Nigel Planer does do a very good Trumon but he isn't so colourful more a bit grey, I can imagine Nigel doing the Upperclass Discworlders very well...
Nigel. I have heard neither rendition but if I heard Tony as Rincewind it would destroy my image of Nobby. Okay, Neil is a bit laid back for "Rinso" but Nigel...
I am suppose i am a little biased as i had quite a few of Tonys Discworld narrations, but as i remember he threw himself into the dialogue and i could forget...
I have a problem with Tony as he always reads the abridged version - half the jokes go down the drain. Nigel is pretty good, but the best narrator is definitly...
... Not AFAIK. He's a former civil servant who wrote to Pterry about dramatising one of the books years ago and got sucked in to the extent that he's co-author...
Let me add that he did the Ankh-Morpork Street Map and the Discworld Mapp and helped with the Lancre Map and he also does the diaries and the play-texts that...
... Thud! and Where Is My Cow come out in october. The new calendar comes out at the end of september, and the new diary comes out august next year. There...
... "Thud" should be out this fall (am I right in thinking October?)--I've got it listed to order at the library and I'm already first on the reserve list. =D...
