Well, yes it's academic MLA style, this way...

Pretty good review Marky. Am used to superscript too but I know school papers tend to be the way you did it. Just took some getting used to. Am glad you liked the book. It's one that I like particularly as well.

Have you read the other?

Marky Lazer · 14th April 2008, 02:32 PM

I'm halfway through Mrs Ogg's book...

Marky Lazer · 15th April 2008, 02:48 PM

This morning I finished Nanny Ogg's Cookbook.

Bibliophile · 16th April 2008, 12:30 PM

HAH! Now that is a fun book. I've actually tried some of the recipes from there. The Banana Soup is.... surprising. Not disgusting, but definitely something I'd never eat again... "Surprise!" really sums it up.
What's next for you?

Marky Lazer · 16th April 2008, 12:49 PM

Lords and Ladies would be the next in line, though there's first some other things to read:

A non-published book for a friend to provide with comments before its final edit and some school stuff. In other words, Lords and Ladies will have to wait for a week or two.

Marky Lazer · 17th June 2008, 02:51 PM

That's right! We're back on track! I've read the first 100 pages last night and this morning in the bus. Woot!

Joel007 · 17th June 2008, 06:59 PM

I liked Lords and Ladies, I've always had an interest in "the fair folk" (I suppose I have Tolkien to thank for that)

Marky Lazer · 17th June 2008, 07:07 PM

Yes, and Granny always reads very quickly. I read 200 pp in two days now.

pyan · 17th June 2008, 07:21 PM

One of my favourites as well. Just love it when Magrat...

well, you'll find out!

Marky Lazer · 17th June 2008, 07:37 PM

Gee! Sometimes you're such a... such a Pyan!

Marky Lazer · 24th June 2008, 08:38 AM

That was Lords and Ladies, on to Men at Arms.

Joel007 · 24th June 2008, 08:59 AM

Men at arms was great, I need to re-read it actually...

"If you can count to two you can count to anything!"

Marky Lazer · 24th June 2008, 08:24 PM

One-third into it, while I should've been studying, I guess

Marky Lazer · 29th June 2008, 12:55 PM

That was Men at Arms, with possibly the best Pratchettism I've ever seen. Something along the lines of: Rich people are rich because they can afford to buy cheaper products than poor people.

I've moved on to Soul Music already, with the very true statement: "Susan didn't like Literature. She'd rather read a good book."
