Jaimelai - Club Leader Posted June 17, 2009 Just started on "Jingo" (which means "extreme nationalism marked by an especially belligerent foreign policy" - see funny and educational! :)). Looks like there is going to be a war between Ankh-Morpork and Klatch over the newly raised island of Leshp. We'll see how it turns out... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rasheta Ardashir - Member Posted June 18, 2009 I liked Jingo actually course I actually like the guy who runs Ankh morpork *ggls* I can't think of his name off the top of my head...Vetnari (sp) My mom helped me with that one *laughs* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amethea - Member Posted June 18, 2009 Yep, Jingo is brilliant. :) One of my favourites. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kara_J - Member Posted June 19, 2009 Lord Havelock Vetinari ;) Me? Spoil a TP?? I don't know what you mean Sam! *whistles* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samuraiflip05 - Member Posted June 21, 2009 Yes well, there is no telling when I will be getting any new books so I'll probably forget anything you reveal by the time I read one. That is of course compounded by the fact that I have no idea who the characters are. :P :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kara_J - Member Posted June 21, 2009 If anyone does want to know a synopsis - I'm pretty sure I can provide them, since I've got and read all the books at least twice :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaimelai - Club Leader Posted June 27, 2009 Well now, that was a good book! Just finished my first go through of "Jingo". Very good indeed! It has everything from submarines to flying carpets. From Leonardo Da Vinci to Lawrenace of Arabia to cross-dressing guards - very, very funny all around! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kara_J - Member Posted June 27, 2009 ;D Glad you enjoyed it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amethea - Member Posted June 29, 2009 Yep - same here. It's a very good book. :) I'm halfway though Carpe Jugulum, and loving it so far. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaimelai - Club Leader Posted June 30, 2009 Kara - do you really have all the books? That must be quite a library in itself! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kara_J - Member Posted June 30, 2009 yes I do - right down to the ones for children (Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents and the Tiffany Aching books). I also have the maps (Lancre, Ankh-Morpork, Deaths Domain and The Discworld), Science of the Discworld books (1&2), The Discworld Companion and Nanny Oggs Cookbook. I even have a Discworld Mousemat... you could say I'm a teensy bit obsessed lol. There's a few books I haven't got - namely the latest Science of the Discworld book and The Wit and Wisdom of Terry Pratchett which is basically a collection of quotes, I believe. Edit: Here's my collection - ok so I might be showing off a little *shifty* and my bookcases: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samuraiflip05 - Member Posted June 30, 2009 Yep....she's a reader. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kara_J - Member Posted June 30, 2009 That I am ;D I forgot to mention that I also have the discworld game of THUD (described in the book of the same name) And will hopefully soon be taking delivery of 2 Seamstresses T-shirts, a bag with the Assassin's logo on it and several badges ;D Obsessed much!

Jaimelai - Club Leader Posted June 30, 2009 And with the cool British edition cover art! Totally cool! Thanks for the pics! ;D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kara_J - Member Posted July 1, 2009 My absolute pleasure :) I just realised that I managed to cut off Thud in the one pic :( Soon I shall plague you with more pics of my latest purchases ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaimelai - Club Leader Posted July 1, 2009 Sure! I love those British covers (despite what Sam says) :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taymist - Club Leader Posted July 2, 2009 You don't get the same cover art Jaime? That's a real pity, it's very good. I spend ages looking for all the details on them. :D My collection isn't as complete as Kara's one lol, but I have a fair few of them including the Companion and two of the Discworld maps. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaimelai - Club Leader Posted July 2, 2009 Nope! American version: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaimelai - Club Leader Posted July 2, 2009 Super cool English version: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaimelai - Club Leader Posted July 2, 2009 Here is a link to a lot of the different covers: http://www.lspace.org/books/covers/index.html They don't even have many of the U.S. covers. Another cool U.K. cover: and the U.S. version: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kara_J - Member Posted July 2, 2009 Wow! I feel for you. It'd suck not having those wonderful colourful covers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amethea - Member Posted July 3, 2009 Indeed. I can't believe how different the US covers are to the UK ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taymist - Club Leader Posted July 5, 2009 Vastly different :-\ they're so plain compared to ours! You poor things. :( Josh's artwork totally makes the books. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
