Location: USA		After a strong first half, my reading rate has slowed somewhat. Life happens. Finally finished one, though.

I've been hearing about the Discworld stories for many years, now, and when I mentioned to a friend my intention to finally pick one up, Guard! Guards! was his recommendation. That's turned out to be some of the best reading advice I've received in quite some time. Comedy, in any genre, is difficult to write, no less so in a fantasy. Pratchett pulls it off, and that's an understatement. I smiled a lot and laughed out loud from time to time. A very clever book. I begin to understand why his fans mourn his relatively recent passing to the degree they do. I'll be back for more Terry Pratchett's Discworld in the future.
