That's odd, I never heard about this from any of my fellow Discworld friends on Freeola. I only just saw an advert for it on TV. From what I saw it looks good and the casting seems better than the Hogfather. Though I should add that I have yet to read the book so someone will have to tell me whether the actors suite their roles. Do they?

Unfortunately I still don't have Sky so I'm going to have to try and find a torrent for it. Like the Hogfather I'll try and get it on DVD too.

This is good news right? Maybe the Hogfather did well and they're thinking about doing a lot more of the Dscoworld stories?

Didn't know he'd written that many books!

So far only have The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic, but will probably use that guide when I go for the next Rincewind title. Cheers Machie.

Funnily enough, I'm reading that too, but it's one of my hardbacks so I can't carry it around with me (which means it takes ages to read).

I can highly recommend Mort :) Timmargh bought me it, so that makes it even more special.

Discoworld Reading Order Guide - Does anyone follow this or do you just buy any of them?

Love that title. I suppose that's what we'd all do if the internet ever completely died on us.

May order that one, as well as Mort (just sounds good) soon.

I'm part-way into Going Postal at the moment ... can't remember where I put it though.

Different, because most of it's not in Ankh Morpork, but very good as I remember.

Thats the reason I'm reading it today... Slammed my finger trying to open a stuck drawer, after a different book. Couldn't open it properly and gave up and grabbed the first book I could find.

Ah well, glad I'm reading it now.

What's Pyramids like?

I haven't read a Discworld book in forever...

I think the last one I read was Pyramids, that was probably about 18 months ago now. I haven't read a couple of the newer ones yet even though I have them.

Just finished The Colour Of Magic (chapter) and going to start the second part of the book (the sending of eight) tonight.

Actually really enjoying it, so will be ordering The Hogfather as my next DVD to buy.

Some excellent news if they do carry on making more. :D

I would recommend a Freeola Discworld BookClub but some of you might have read the books already and not want to read them again, or have no interest in talking about them on here.

Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
I am delighted.
Brilliant! As usual the careful and intuitive production that Freeola puts into everything it sets out to do. I am delighted.
