John Avison: sunny side of my emergency envelope
UK I am definitely not ready for the Grim Reaper, though it would be interesting to see if HE DOES SPEAK IN CAPITAL LETTERS, as Discworld author Terry Pratchett asserts he does. And indeed, even if I'm alive and kicking and have little more than a sniffle ...

A Hat Full of Sky and Going Postal…
The recent traveling as given me a chance to read some more Discworld books. A Hat Full of Sky - Another mission for the new witch Tiffany Aching. A nice story, but like the other Young Adult Discworld books, it lacks a little edge. Going Postal - Against his will, a conman called Moist von Lipwig...

A few more Discworld books…

Resolved Question: Does anyone know a TV show about teen witches?
A few weeks ago, while in Chicago, I saw a TV show about a Hogwart's-like witches school with three teen witch room-mates (and one of them was visited by her goth trouble-maker friend just before a big exam). Does anyone know this show? I thought it was called Wyrd Sisters or something of the s...

Podcast: Thud! by Terry Pratchett Read by Stephen Briggs (10 1/2 hours, unabridged) Published by HarperAudio
