TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

I don't how accurate it is or where I got it, but I have the impression that it was written for a slightly younger, more teenagery audience.  So I've been waiting for the paperback.

Hell I like every book with Vimes in it, he is just teh roxxorz.
Especially Night Watch, it was so perfect I almost cried...
(but you really have to have read the entire preceding series before you can truly appreciate it...)

By the way, I just discovered that I have all his books up till Thief Of Time (nr 26) somewhere on my harddrive, but I can't remember ever downloading it...
Having the occasional "memory black hole" really brings the best surprises :-)
When I was a little man
Playdough came in a little can
I was Star Wars' biggest fan
Now I'm stuck without a plan
GI Joe was an action man
Shaggy drove the mystery van
Devo was my favorite band
Take me back to my happy land

I recommend Small Gods as the best TP starting point. It requires no knowledge of the rest of the Discworld books, but introduces the reader quite well. Then I'd get Men at Arms.

Rev. Roger and I have both read Good Omens, which TP co-wrote with Neil Gaiman. I think I can safely say that we both strongly reccomend it.

Thanks. That sounds like a good one.
I've been wanting some new reading material.

I'd also reccomend pretty much anything ever written by Gaiman. Espically the Sandman epic and the novel American Gods.

I got American Gods for Christmas. It's one of the best things I've ever read.

Thats great. It really is a wonderful book. I love Gaiman's treatment of mythology. Too bad Eris didn't make it in the book  :wink:

You must read the Sandman. It is at the very top of my essential reading list and if you already enjoyed something by Gaiman you will love the Sandman. I introduced it to Roger before I left for Europe and he has not stoped talking about it since.
