    Don't forget the Broomiliad trilogy (Truckers, Diggers and Wings) and the tiffinay Aching books (also set in Discworld) Wee Free Men, Hat Full of Sky and Wintersmith.
    Also the Carpet People.

    "There are no good wars. War is always the worst possible way to resolve differences. It degenerates and corrupts both sides to ever more sordid levels of existence, in their need to gain an advantage over the enemy. Those actively involved in combat are almost always damaged goods for the rest of their lives. If their bodies don't bear scars, their minds do, ofttimes both. Many have said it before, but it can't be said to enough, war is hell. "

      "Wee Free Men" and "Hat Full of Sky" are nice, I haven't mentioned them because they are part of the Discworld for me 8-)
      (I haven't read Wintersmith, but if it is on the line of the other two I *will* like it *g*)

      Strangely I didn't like the Carpet People (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Carpet_People), which kinda frustrates me, because I like *everything* from PTerry... with that exception 8-/

      One possibility would be - as I read in german, I *could* read in english, but I am lazy that way *gg* - that the translation was crap.

          I have but one with that dreaded soup ads.. when I first got to that page I was thinking... "C'mon, what's that? The translator got an aneurism or what?". It took me aprox. half of the page to recognize it as an advertisment... I am sure NOT to buy that brand now, so I guess I am "non standard advertisment receiver", as they think something that bugs you gets you to buy something... but that's a different discussion altogether.

          I got "Klonk" yesterday... can't wait to start reading (didn't start yesterday because I came home late, can't start today, because I will come home late, but will DEFINETLY start the day after. I found it is easier not to begin than to stop reading with PTerry *g*), I hope to find it on the usual line of humor and character portraits 8-)
