"Not the Terry Pratchett I'm used to. I'm still going to finish it but it has to do a heck of a lot better if it wants me to care for the characters or the story." Jan 09, 2016 06:43AM

"Yeah, I'm not feeling it. It probably has to do with the character of Dairy who I'm not at all invested in. Give me some Loch and Pyvic for crying out loud!" Jan 09, 2016 06:42AM

In martial arts training, you punch and shout at the same time. Your “Shout louder!” command helps to override the “Less power!” command.

Roberto Calasso
“El lector verdadero está siempre leyendo un libro -o dos, o tres o diez- y la novedad llega como una molestia -a veces irritante, a veces agradable, a veces incluso deseada- en el seno de esa actividad ininterrumpida. Donde, no sin esfuerzo, deberá conquistar un espacio, si no cae antes de las manos del lector. Este, entonces, volverá felizmente a ese otro libro que estaba leyendo porque eso es precisamente lo que tenía ganas de hacer.”
Roberto Calasso, Come ordinare una biblioteca

Roberto Calasso
“Hay títulos que uno ha evitado durante años y años, viéndolos reaparecer cada tanto. Llega un día en que, sin una razón aparente, nos aventuramos a comprar el libro. Finalmente uno lo abre y descubre que es del todo distinto de lo que habíamos pensado. O bien se constata que es como si ya lo hubiéramos leído -y entonces las razones para evitarlo eran incuestionablemente sólidas.”
Roberto Calasso, Come ordinare una biblioteca

Terry Pratchett
“Tiffany was on the whole quite a truthful person, but it seemed to her that there were times when things didn’t divide easily into ‘true’ and ‘false’, but instead could be ‘things that people needed to know at the moment’ and ‘things that they didn’t need to know at the moment’.”
Terry Pratchett, The Wee Free Men

“The only possible source of trouble connected with the acid is its corrosive nature, which can be overcome by the use of corrosion-resistant materials.' Ha! If they had known the trouble that nitrid acid was to cause before it was finally domesticated, the authors would probably have stepped out of the lab and shot themselves.”
John D. Clark, Ignition!: An informal history of liquid rocket propellants

“Most of the Navy work on peroxide was not directed towards missiles, but towards what was called "super performance" for fighter planes -an auxiliary rocket propulsion unit that could be brought into play to produce a burst of very high speed- so that when a pilot found six Migs breathing down his neck he could hit the panic button and perform the maneuver known as getting the hell out of here.”
