have you read Hat Full of Sky? I thought he really hit on how to do kids' books on the Discworld there, the first 2 were a bit shaky (like the early Discworld novels - good but have shaky moments). Anyone else confused by the way he's started writing in chapters?

Its very well written, I liked it eventhough I'm used to something a bit more... deep.
And I, too, am puzzled by his sudden use of chapters.
I think its because quite a few book reviewers pointed out this is a bad and clumsy way to write and read.

[omg]

u mean like 2 fingers to the people who have praised him for not using chapters? could be strog. a book of his im amazed to not see here considering this is a retro games forum is only u can save mankind, its definatley had its space combat scenes inspired by elite or frontier, an was one of my faveorate books as a child!

if u aint re4ad it do, its not strictly a kiddie book an it questions the way we always portray alien species, definatly on my list.

Two fingers? I wonder where he got them from...

[omg]

Just finished reading Kafka's The Judgement... Always a double psychological work to read Kafka, as his books are already filled with ideas, thoughts, and then we get to explore his own life by looking at the outside, the basics of the book it's himself reflected. Simply amazing.

Simply amazing.

And to think he wanted them all destroyed.

Sometimes pain is unbearable, specially when it's inflicted from those who are close.

Anyone else read William Gibson? I thought Pattern Recognition was his best in a long time, right up there with Neuromancer and its two sequels.

[omg]

agreed. that man is responsible for so much, he has inspired comics, movies even musicians (and of course countless writers) shame jhonny mneumonic ended the way it did, the first half o the movie was awesome k:

Yeah, Gibson rocks. His cyberpunk trilogy is truly excellent.
