It needs another l at the end.

I asked you here to be witty and crazy, just like a fox (but not Fox). You're supposed to entertain us not the other way around. Now shine my shoes. SHINE THEM LIKE A FOX. except without all the scratching and biting and ohhhhhhh the PAIN.
I would also like to know WHAT Ankh you are watching. IS IT THE ANKH of reincarnation? If so, does Fox have it?
Also is your avatar a BOTTLE or an UPSIDE DOWN square tennis racket?

The Ankh i am watching is the River Ankh which runs through the city of Ankh-Morepork in the Discworld Novels. Well its sort of derived from Ankh-Morepork City Watch.
And the bottle is from kol.

Discworld is awesome, by the way
Agreed. Very agreed. I need more Discworld books, but for the most part I'm too cheap to buy them new and they're very hard to come by secondhand. I did buy A Hat Full of Sky a little while ago, though; it was tons of fun.

I get them from the library usually. I think I've read most of them, even though I only own Monstrous Regiment and Going Postal.
Maskerade is easily the strangest so far.

Oh, I've read most of them, often from the library (or borrowed from friends), but it's nice to be able to grab one off the shelf and read it. Over and over and over again. That, and it can be hard to track them down from the library sometimes.
Maskerade was fun. Also possibly the first Discworld book I read, if I remember correctly.
Hrm. It occurs to me that I haven't read Going Postal. I should fix that, I suppose. Once I'm done with my current read-through of Katharine Kerr's Deverry books, maybe I'll go back to Pratchett for a bit.

I Have them all and love them all. Although the witches novels annoy me:
Too repetitive they all work out essentially the same. That said if he wrote
five more witches novels i would right at the front of the que to buy them.
They're like GTA SA bad for a GTA game good for a game.

Postal is the newest one. There's a great character there named Stanley.
I've been meaning to pick that one up for a couple of months now, but my used bookseller hasn't been able to draw a bead on a copy as of yet. Since it's a special request, and it's me, it'll run me all of three bucks, which is far superior to the $12 or whatever the heck full-price books are going for these days. There's just a waiting period before I can get my hands on a book.

Is he Communist?
Every used bookseller I've ever encountered has been a Communist.

The woman who I deal with who runs the store on a day-to-day basis would be better classified as a "liberal with a slightly libertarian lean" variety of a former hippie with an English degree. The owner is a die-hard Democrat who is big within the local political scene from what I understand. The two other owners of local used book stores who I've met are certainly left-leaning in their political views, but neither is a Communist as far as I know.

I'm in California now and the used bookshop that will be opening in a week beside my dads office has a copy of going postal.
I asked and neither of the two elderly people running it are communists: one is a liberal and the other is a conservative.

Okay. Must be because I'm in New York. We get also lots of transvestites up here.
