In memory of Sir Pterry

Today I am in mourning, for today one of my favourite authors stepped out of this world and into the next (if you believe in that kind of thing). That author is Sir Terry Pratchett. He had struggled for eight years with alzheimers and finally it got the better of him.

I loved the sentient house and the act of trying to gain its trust. Everything else felt a bit bland.

This is definitely a slower, peaceful read, albeit one with depth. It's a book of recovering from the trauma of your life before, finding a new direction, and ultimately learning to forgive. I can see why it's not for everyone, but despite a slightly ...more

Lemurkat is 40% done with Field Guide for the Formerly Villainous: Am enjoying it now, especially since they are actually looking after their animals and working the farm they bought.
