If you have never read any of Terry Prachetts disc-world, you have deprived yourself of some of the best literature committed in the most recent decades. The books are very different, and there are many good places to jump in, depending on your tastes, but here are some suggested entry-points: "Witches abroad", (tourism, childrens tales) "Guards, Guards!" (police, power, dragons) "Jingo" (International diplomacy) "Maskarace" (Opera) "Soul Music" (Rock'n'Roll history) "The Last Continent" (Darwin and Australia) "Going Postal" (Public Works) And of course, once you get a feel for the universe: "Thief of Time" I can also warmly recommend the "Science of Discworld" books, they're great introductions into heavy-duty science. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [email protected] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
