Book Reviews
Sep. 15th, 2010 09:33 pmMy consumption of new books has really slowed down, but in my defence I am rereading a lot. Damn you Terry Prattchet and your re-readability!

Mar. 6th, 2010 03:00 pmThat letters one. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
missbevcrusher gave me the letter d. So now I have to come up with 10 things I love starting with the letter d.
That is surprisingly hard.
1. Dana Scully. This requires no explanation, because Dana Scully is awesome! Oh you want one? Well, anyone who can run in high heels, shoot you and then do the autopsy is not someone you want to piss off.
2. Dragons! Just, dragons! I have waded though so much awful just because they have dragons in them. Though if a movie had Jeremy Irons and dragons both in them, run away!
3. The Doctor, no matter how irritatingly emo he can get, he's still the Doctor.
4. The other Doctor, the most interesting character on Voyager who wasn't initially hired for his boobs.
5. Disney animation. While Disney the corporation is evil and terrifying, their animation is lovely, and even those that are bad from a movie point of view are still watchable because of the efforts of the animators.
6. Dogs. I do love both cats and dogs, each species with their different charms, and dogs are just so happy most of the time.
7. Discworld, my favorite fantasy land. It's not just a monotone land of hats, all sorts of different species and cultures and places that all have their own unique feel. Oh Pterry!
8. Dvds. My flat is a shrine to dvds! Going fully digital would save a lot of space, but it's not the same if you don't have to open up the dvd case, then open up all the others when you realise the one you actually want is in the wrong case somewhere.
9. Dodgy old british sci-fi. Because when your space ships are made out of tin foil and your aliens out of bubble wrap, you have to have to rely on an actual decent script.
10. David Bowie. Because without his music there would be no Gene Hunt! Plus, it's good music too!

She's started reading my Anne McCaffrey books, but can I convince her to read Terry Pratchett? Can I hell!
Dammit, he's good fantasy!

Need more Discworld!
Aug. 7th, 2009 01:44 pmWith my purchase of Sourcery, I now own all the Discworld novels. And that depresses the hell out of me. There are still a few of the official maps and other things I need to get, but soon there will be no new Discworld for me to read until he releases new novels. At least Pterry is a very proficient writer, and a new one will be out in October. And yay it's a Wizard book, they are my favorite ones. Along with the Watch books. And the Witches. And the Tiffany Aching ones.
