    His latest Discworld book is out, anybody read it yet? is he starting to loose his edge or is he as sharp as ever?

    Will review it once I have finished it.

    Twas OK, but not one of his better ones. A bit meh the entrie way through. He also introduced a ton of weird new things to the Discworld (orcs?), which may have put me off it slightly. It is, however, a step up from Making Money.

    I've been looking for a new book to read. What is it about? Does it fall into any of the previous Discworld series?

    ... The fact that it's named after the Unseen University may just be hinting at a possible continuation of the Wizards series... Maybe...

    Just brought it but haven't started reading yet. I didn't think that Making Money was bad but I preferred Going Postal.

    And I really hope that this is a continuation of the Wizard's series, I miss Rincewind. I just got finished re-reading Eric and I forgot how awesome he was! :)

    Igors Did It. Hardly new.

    I enjoyed the hell out of it. Anyone care to guess at the age of the non-wizarding characters?
