  1. I did a big reread several years ago (the first time I had ever read them in order) and one of the things that struck me about Night Watch is that while I always took your point for granted I no longer believe it; Night Watch would be BETTER if you read other books, especially in little jokes and a few throw away cameos. But I absolutely believe it can be read solo; it is a classic cat and mouse story that diverts in interesting ways. Much of Vimes' history is irreverent(his drinking problem is now part of his history, but not front and center to the story) and the supporting Guard cast that matters is introduced within the story itself. Light Fantastic truly is the only book I think needs a lead up to be read. And man, there is a lot of Eric hate on this thread. It is actually the book I reread last, and I think it is pretty entertaining. Not deep, and not high on the Pratchett list, but a nice diversion of a story and honestly about as much Rincewind as I need these days (some of the Rincewind books are a slog).
  2. I also really like Tana French. She is dark, really dark. But not crazy bloody or gore obsessed, just bleak as hell and not afraid to mess with the head. Brilliant, but I can only read these one at a time rather than binge them as cozy mysteries often are. Something I am afraid to do is go back to old mysteries I used to like to see if they are any good at all. At one point I was in love with Tony Hillerman's books, but I have no idea how they would hold up.

    Having the same issue. Can't post in firefox or on my phone. Also found a way in through Internet Explorer. The reply screen just goes gray.
  4. Ya, someone point me to an open feeder. I had to drop one league because the draft date was literally the one day I couldn't draft, but I want in pretty bad with some forum friends.
