I finished THUD! last night…what a staggeringly good book Pratchett has written. Sam Vimes and the watch books rock!
But some sad news too. Robert Jordan, the author of Wheel of Time succumbed after illness on 16th of September. He leaves his great work unfinished (though someone is bound to write the ending of that one). It will be a shame, for although his last books were not overwhelming, the skill of the first few books of the series is there for all to see.
Am now reading Heinlein, a SF author I have somehow managed to miss during my SF years. He is good…though different from Asimov (who still remains my favourite by a very long way)
