Finished Reading and Upcoming

Hello!


Just a few moments ago I finished reading Terry Pratchett's Unseen Academicals. As with any Terry Pratchett novel, I enjoyed it thoroughly! Every little thing I wanted to happen in the end, happened. This, of course, made me a very happy reader indeed. I just love when everything works out! Not to mention, there was the ever present Terry Pratchett humor stuffed into the pages, making me snort or giggle as I read.


I love meeting familiar characters as the protagonists make their way through the story; it just makes me feel comforted in a way that is difficult to explain.


Moving On:


Next, I'll be reading another Terry Pratchett novel. This one happens to be the last one in my collection that I have yet to read. It is entitled Snuff and there are 398 pages (which includes the short Epilogue).


At least in this one, the breaks in thought/scene are not just an extra line between paragraphs. Instead the breaks consist of the extra line PLUS! a really big first letter of the paragraph. This makes it easier for me to find my place when I come back to reading.


For some reason, the first thing I noticed about this book is that the pages are very thin and soft. They feel so nice! This sensation makes me want to write another entry about real books vs Nook/Kindle/etc. That could possibly be interesting, right?


Complaint:
Unseen Academicals and Snuff have generally small text. This makes wearing my reading glasses extremely important. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind wearing my glasses... it is just that if I wear them too long I get headaches, like I've mentioned before. Thus, my reading times aren't as lengthy as I'd prefer.


I'll always keep reading through a headache if the story is worth it, and believe me, Terry Pratchett tends to make the effort worth my while.
Funny, I was just talking about worth and Unseen Academicals had some interesting things about worth in it.


Honestly, if you ever get the chance to read any Terry Pratchett Discworld novel, I'd suggest you do it because they are truly a great read for all.


Keep Turning The Page, Megan
