But first! Hey Kunal, welcome back, how was your trip? Glad you are a pratchett fan! And you have read quite a few of them! Som day we will have a Pratchett reading group, what say. We all nod our heads at each other and say the same things over and over again :) Vishal, congratulations! Stellar work on spreading the word! I hope you like Pratchett!I read Khushwant Singh and felt a little depressed because of the frequent references to death, but then again that is also a sign of a long full life! Aditya :) read about the M&B episode, you are definitely inspiring another post! I have read Tom Holt and I think he is very brilliant! Douglas Adams usually leaves a message behind in his text, remember 'Apologise for the inconvenience?' That sent shivers down my spine, I don't know why. Meethil, will definitely be giving you another Pratchett soon. Sometimes, you find the right author at the right time, any other time and it doesn't 'click'. I have read the 'Athenian Murders' which is damn interesting, will try to find it for you!It is written by Spanish author José Carlos Somoza and is mindblowingly scary! :) hey hey hey, glad to see the post on Pratchett has made some people curious :) I had disappeared for two days, reading the new Dan Brown, will post about that later.

witches abroad,sourcery ,the truth and a few others spring to mind, but i have always felt closest to these two.
the characters, their names, their behaviours,the understanding and lack of of magic, the way the city anarmorpock runs,and is run by its ”democratically” elected head ;) . its beautiful.
my alter ego by the way is rincewind[ both for the lack of spelllings as wel as the mad adventures :) ] :) hooray to Sit Terry Pratchett.

Would be a serious investment of time to thoroughly run through it. Reading your post has convinced me. Love it when an author taunts/teases the reader though - that's when you really feel involved with the book. However, I avoid thinking of the process of writing, about what the author was thinking when he wrote the words in a book, and accept the book at face value, as an entity independent of the author - Dorian Grey influence speaking here. Have you read any of Tom Holt's books - Humorous Fantasy better than Douglas Adams. Read Valhalla a while back. @Vishal Devgon, try Delhi by Kushwant Singh, has loads of strange literary allusions, I hope it is historically accurate, and it is of course, entertaining ;) I wanted to dive into Discworld from a long time, but the amount of books in the series has always intimidated me.

Yes i surely enjoy humorous fantasy fiction. But of late i'm more into Paulo Coelho kinds and not much books of some gud literary value. Yes 'First Proof' of Penguin books was a good collection of fiction/non fiction literary classics. I'm very much entertained by the Khushwant Singh's, Shobha de', which offer some literary input besides being very entertaining fiction. But Meethil 'Novelised History' is something i have never tried. The sheer volume of the book is enough to scare me away from them :) but who knows when i'll be reading them. The literary interests change like any others with time and then what we will be reading, who knows.
