I enjoyed The Colour of Magic, but the series gets better over time.

Oh good because I was planning on buying the whole series and reading it. I laughed my hind parts off when I read his Big Bang Theory in the beginning of the book. That was hilarious! Thanks, Aimless. :)

Oh, I see that was his 39th novel in the Discworld series. That is a lot of books! :o I didn't realize there were quite that many. Well, I have a lot to look forward too. :)

True North (2005) by Bruce Henderson

It's about Peary and Cook, the two men who both claimed to have been the first to reach the geographic North Pole. The animosity and character assassination that went on is just as interesting as the explorations.

I'm rereading Imajica by Clive Barker, one of my favourite books, in an effort to get my brain to accept words not written on a screen.

Bad Blood by John Sandford.

Not for the faint of heart, though it is fiction.

Mmm... it's picked up a bit towards the end, but I've been wishing death on the entire cast since near the beginning. I don't find the Hive society particularly repellent, just pointless; none of them seem to be having any fun or doing anything interesting, yet you could easily have a society with a parallel organisation yet where its inhabitants weren't so dull.
