Nov. 22nd, 2002 01:47 amSo. Damn. Tired.
Would have gone to bed an hour and a half ago, but I had a Pratchett book to finish.
Went to both signings today, saw Jo, was insanely jealous of her FictionAlley bag. Want. It has Draco on it.
Tired. Tired. Tired. Tired.
Want a haircut. Want new icons. Yawn.
Thanksgiving dinner rocked. Puuumpkin pie is weird and may take some getting used to.
The Night Watch by Terry Pratchett rocks. Go buy one, and tell them I sent you.

Date: 2002-11-21 05:59 pm (UTC)No, damnit! Well, not for 8 months or so. I'm collecting paperbacks only, and I'm going to stick to that if it kills me! (and it might)
For the record, signings suck. Standing in a line for 1.5 hours while people are getting huge numbers of books signed and then getting rushed through, getting only one book signed and no talk time with Pterry was a major letdown :(
On the upside, the last signing I went to rocked, but then that wasn't Pterry, so yeah.

Date: 2002-11-23 03:14 pm (UTC)In fact . . . there's 3 distinct types on my shelf. The first are books I got during high school, when I used to spend almost every spare moment re-reading my existing Pratchett books (not having the exposure to new stuff, perhaps, or the money to get it). The second are books I got during uni. Enough time to re-read them, and enough money to buy them, but so much exposure to other works that I only managed most of them 2 or 3 times. The third are ones aquired after I entered the workforce, and they're all looking shiny and new . . .
I have had no time to re-read much of anything of late, people keep giving me fascinating stuff I haven't read before ;-)
Actually, it's kind of symptomatic of my life as a whole. I have enough money to buy the stuff I want, but I seem to have little time to enjoy it.
Hrm, anyway, yeah, if you reread the books a lot hardback seems to be the way to go. I shudder to think of the expense of collecting all of Pratchett in hardback though. Eek.
