Rock and Roll is born on Discworld in Soul Music and Rincewind frees the Counterweight Continent in Interesting Times.
Although both books are pretty good, by the standards of previous offerings I felt they were a little flat. Maybe some of that is down to the manner in which I read them. Most of the previous [...]
My quest to read the Discworld series continues:
Lords and Ladies - This book starts where Witches Abroad finished. This time the witches have to prevent elves returning to the Discworld. Love, marriage, death and elves. What more could you want.
Men at Arms - I keep reading these books and saying, “This one is [...]
It’s a while since I mentioned any books, so I thought I’d get myself up to date…
Reaper Man - Death takes a holiday and chaos ensues. Death is my favorite character in the Discworld series, so I really enjoyed this one.
Witches Abroad - Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick have to go “abroad” do [...]
Today marks the end of my first full week of “normal” life for quite some time!
I’ve managed to:
Swim every day.
Get to all my Karate lessons.
Do Yoga with my Yoga-buddies, as well do my regular stint of teaching.
Get to the gym.
Stretch a couple of times a day.
Do a bit of writing for the website. I’m concentrating [...]
I recently finished reading Guards! Guards! and Eric. Guards! Guards! has got some great characters and is probably one of my favorite books so far in the series. Eric is a really short story, but it quite pacey, so it was pretty good.
I’m about a third of the way through Moving Pictures and I’m really [...]
An amusing take on death is present in every Discworld book I’ve encountered so far. Suffice to say, Wyrd Sisters and Pyramids have provided some much needed light relief over the last few days.
Cheers

The plane journeys to OpenWorld and back gave me plenty of time to read…
Equal Rites - Nice enough story, but it didn’t find it all that funny compared to the previous two. Maybe I’m to invested in Rincewind and Twoflower. Maybe it just suffers in comparison to the first two, which are great.
Mort - Very [...]
I put an article about Flashback and LogMiner new stuff live the other day, but forgot to put a post here. Better late than never. I feel a bit cheap and dirty admitting this, but I’m starting to like the web based Enterprise Manager.
The new LogMiner interface is really easy to use, and [...]
Last night I finished reading The Colour of Magic. I’ve said it before, and I’ll probably say it again, but reading isn’t really my bag. If the writing style is too complicated I quickly become lost or bored, or both.
When I started this book it was a bit unnerving because there is a barrage of [...]
