Book Log – Snuff

Snuff by Terry Pratchett

A Commander Vimes book from the Discworld genre. And really, I think it can be called a genre, since there are like 30 Discworld novels.

The Commander Vimes books really respect being a “copper”. We hear about how being a copper is in your blood, blah blah blah about every third page. The themes of justice are heavy-handed (“Goblins are people, too!”).

But Discworld stuff isn’t hard literature. It’s just silly, easy reading. And a bit addictive.

Don’t start, kids.

Book Log – A Hat Full of Sky

A Hat Full of Sky: A Tiffany Aching Adventure by Terry Pratchett

This is the second of the Tiffany Aching series, set in Discworld. Like it’s predecessor, The Wee Free Men, it’s aimed at a younger audience. But it’s still a Discworld novel. Granny Weatherwax makes an appearance, and I like that character from the “grown-up” Discworld books.

I think I say this about every Discworld book, but why re-invent the wheel: This is an amusing piece of mind candy.
