Yeah, I'm a Pratchett nut, how'd you guess?

Welcome to AF. So far, I've read Colour of Magic, Light Fantastic, Guards! Guards! and Sourcery. Discworld has already quite effortlessly become my favourite book series of all time
Since you seem pretty clued up and I'm a little unsure, what should be the next few Discworld books I demolish, would you say?

Personal favourite is Night Watch, I also like the Tiffany Aching series, and any other book featuring Granny Weatherwax as a main character. Oh, and don't forget the Science of... books.

Though given that you've started in order, may be best to continue that way. You'll see the evolution in style and philosophy better.

@Boru:


Welcome! Which bit of Ireland? I was bread and buttered in Ballymena, went to uni at Belfast and (later) Dublin.

You must be replete of waffles. Have a toffee rat, my compliments...

Limerick, your original stomping ground. I take my rat with mustard only unfortunately.

Apart from that, I'm from Ireland, have been working as a civil servant after a number of years working precarious jobs, being unemployed and volunteering (teaching English to asylum seekers with a group of nuns).

I'm 34 at the end of the month, like GAA some bits of soccer, rugby, Civs 1-4 (most definitely not 5 *bleurgh*), SFDebris, and reading, especially sci-fi and history.

I'm curious, what constitutes a 'precarious' job?

One that you can get sacked out of very quickly, and has a contract attached of less than a year.
