Oooohhhgoddd has anyone else read Terry Pratchett's Wintersmith? It was fabulous. And I have to say, right after Deathly Hallows Pratchett's writing is.. indescribable. I'm not dissing Rowling, but Pterry's writing just flows way better for me.

I want to draw fanart but as always with Discworld I feel like I can't put my mental image to paper (or canvas, as the case may be, because this one would have to be painted. With like, real paint) and that it's a waste of time to even try. orz

And I still want a copy of Where's My Cow?. I hear it has Vimes's own version of the story in it and I. WANT.

discworld is like the best ever

you've read the hitchhiker's guide I assume but it's pretty much equal in brilliance

I have a crush on rincewind ♥

I'm still waiting for the paperback version of Wintersmith, I think it's supposed to come out in a few months. I can't wait!

Terry Pratchett rules everything. *hero-worships him*

personally, i think rowling is anything but a good writer. the first line is of the entire series is
'Mr and Mrs Dursley...proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much.'
for bloody sake. harry is yet another poor little orphan, england magic, the hero wins in the end, virtue, yadayada. i know it's supposed to be a children's book, but that's not much of an... excuse, or whatever. it's not like it stopped lewis carroll, robert louis stevenson or j.m. barrie from making timeless, honest to god masterpieces, while harry potter is recognized almost solely for it's marketability records.

but that's just me.
