Reflected-sound-of-underground-spirits
My internship at NEF ended on Friday. Michael gave me a bottle of wine, which was sweet of him. I'm not sure I'll ever work there again (though the door has been left open for me), because of the job offer I've accepted and the damned course, but I'll definitely stay in touch and I wish them the best of luck. They ought to make it into the papers with increasing frequency.
I saw a book today, entitled The Selected Prophecies of Nostradamus. Haha!
Any Discworld fans hanging around? I've read The Colour of Magic a number of times and loved it exactly the same number of times, but I've never taken the brave step of trying the other 20+ in the series. Jez recommended that I try out the City Watch books, the first of which is Guards! Guards!. Let me know your recommendation(s).

what's so funny about the book?

I read Guards! Guards! It's funny -- though I'm not a big Pratchett fan in general.

Heyyo again!
I don't know how it is you have time to do so much reading. My "Teach Yourself Hungarian" kit has just arrived and now that finals are nearly upon me it's unclear how I'll find the time to really get into it unless I rediscover the need to resort to more serious procrastinatory options.
PS: Why *did* you need Bluebottle's number?

The first one I read was 'Small Gods'... they're all fantastic, including 'Maurice', which it transpires is aimed at preteens, although I didn't realise this until after I'd finished the book.

Maybe 'Interesting Times', as (imho) one of the best and with the same characters in it. Otherwise 'Wyrd Sisters' has been recommended by others I know.
