Ugh.  Getting WAY off topic here, but: yes.  I mean, sure it had a happy
ending and all, but it was still set in a kind of dystopia-like reality.  I
mean, someone going on a rampage because of a radio commentary?  People
abandoned by society?  I don't see these things happening in a Pratcheresqe
universe.  Sure, there are the shades (well, all of A-M for that matter) and
the Assasins Guild and Velmond and the Dutchess (*DID* she have a name?) etc
etc, but these are a fundamentally different tone from Brazil or The Fisher
King.  (Personally, I think the tone of both of these where very similar)

Oh well.  Followups to rec.movies or email or something.

OK, for once I am going to post an article that is in fact relevant to this
newsgroup.

I have another suggestion for the casting of DW movies; noting that the part
of THE LUGGAGE (one of the more popular charaters of this series) has not been
settled on.  My suggestion is:

The Luggage-	The Brisbane Bears Australian Rules Football Team.

What with their suntans and their new uniforms they are the exact colour of
sapient pearwood, they have brass bands (I would presume.  Who else would they
get to march around for 1/2 time entertainment?), and they seem to
have hundreds of dear little legs...

writing it until May, which was when the original RELEASE date was supposed to

The actual story was that a princess could feel a pea through several matresses

Apparantly the pea would feel like a rock, and she'd be unable to sleep!

It does indeed come from a fairy tale of a princess who has to prove her blue

One thing that immediately struck me as I read the first pages of 'The
Color of Magic', was that the book was outstandingly cheerful, humorous
and, above all, colorful!
I think the reason why I like Pratchett's books better than Adams' is
that virtually every Discworld character has a powerful personality,
something that is lacking in the 'Guide'.

Is it common then, that most Prachett fans prefer other upbeat writers?
Well, I,like you, enjoy Banks and Peake. Though 'upbeat' really isn't
the first thing that comes to mind when Mervyn Peake is mentioned, his
books have many humorous qualities!

And Banks... He's rather funny too, don't you think? (Who likes to read
depressing books? Not me.)

In general I don't think that Pratchett fans prefer a particular
category of authors...

agreed, but I still buy a new one when I see it. What can I say? I

I do like Asprin, I just read "The Cold Cash Wars," which I thought
was quite good...

Remember, Thieves' World isn't very "adolecent"...

IMHO, Pratchett has more re-reads than anyone, except DNA. (tied...)

Asprin's not a re-read, but he's a loaner... (but no-one touches my TP or DNA)

Next would be Shakespeare, but not for fun...

What is it about a book that makes it re-readable then?

It's not humour (MZB's books aren't humourous), maybe attention to detail,
excellent plots, good characters???

I don't know.. I reckon it's just books which make you use your imagination (or
at least, let your imagination run riot), 'cos then I guess you build up a
mental image of the action that gets more and more detailed each time..

It's weird though, 'cos some films are re-watchable countless times (Aliens being
a prime example in my case)..

Anyone got any ideas??
