I just fixed a bunch of the links on the Bookstore page that were broken, so if you had tried to use them before and gotten frustrated, you can give them another go.
Meanwhile, I'm way behind in my chores, so I'll leave you with a quick review:
Maskerade: yet another novel of Discworld
by Terry Pratchett
published by Harper Prism, hardcover, $22.00
rating: Gosh-a-rooty!
"To Whom It May Concern:
Ahahahahaha! Ahahahahaha!
Yrs Sincerely,
The Opera Ghost"
That about sums it up right there. You're about to read Terry Pratchett's take on The Phantom of the Opera, and if your tastes are anything like mine you had best make sure that your sides are reinforced and you have a clean floor to roll on before you begin. The one thing about Terry Pratchett's writing that most amazes me is not that he's so darn funny--lots of writers are funny--but that he keeps on getting better; not just better at the ha-ha, but better overall, deeper, stronger, more insightful...better.
My only complaint about reading a Discworld novel is that when it's done I want to read another one. Fortunately frequent re-reading of older ones keeps that under control, or I don't know what I'd do. I've gone from buying the paperbacks, to buying the hardbacks as soon as they come out, and just a few days ago I caught myself contemplating trying to buy the original (UK) hardbacks as imports....If you can't wait either, you can order Maskerade from Amazon.com.
