Back

I would have made this post earlier, but what with breakfast with my dad, cleaning and polishing my front door, wiping down my bathroom, hoovering my flat, working on my novel draft and making the soup, I literally haven't had the time.

I'm pretty busy for being unemployed.

Anyway, my partner just gave me what appears to be a Christmas pudding in custard (?) so I'm going to eat it and read my book.

@astronomerritt it's not a clootie dumpling is it?

@aoanla Apparently it's a Tesco Finest Christmas pud they found in the bottom of the Christmas hamper my parents gave us. Still in date, just about.

I'd rather it was a clootie dumpling though, they stick to the roof of the mouth less...

@SamanthaJaneSmith I don't think I could begin to pick a funniest line! Though that one is a good candidate.

@astronomerritt Your right of course, its just memorable. The man was a genius

@SamanthaJaneSmith You're absolutely right. I have no idea how he managed to write so many classic lines!

@nothe mine too! my love for Vimes and Sybil cannot be underestimated

@astronomerritt and Carrot! :D

@massimolauria They're so nostalgic. I mean, it often felt like he hadn't even read the book, as some of his depictions are honestly bizarre, but nevertheless his covers ARE Pratchett to me. Iconic.

@zorrobandito I'd never heard that! It's certainly one of mine

@avirr it's one of the best!!

@codeofamor it's such a great one to start with, right??

@astronomerritt I wish I could say I moved on to others. I don't remember.

@codeofamor that's a shame, I do recommend the sequel to this (Men At Arms) if you ever want to give it a try and see if you recall

@vyskocilm You couldn't be more correct
