The past few weeks have been busy as I have progressed on with my journey into Discworld.
To date my route has been chronological, in that I have read the books in the order in which Sir Terry published them, and in truth my reading is well in advance of this blog. As I've progressed I've come to realise the truth of Neil Gaiman's comment that this is not necessarily the best way to proceed: the same applies to P G Wodehouse, where everyone reads Jeeves and Wooster and/or Bandings whereas his early school stories are for completists only.
In reading terms I'm about halfway through the Discword canon although in blogging terms I've hardly started... Nonetheless I found that the Pratchett job blog was really useful in giving me direction:

I have enjoyed just about every book I have read so far, although some more than others, but the good news is that the best is yet to come.
