Discworld

I love books by Terry Pratchett, namely, the discworld ones... They're so witty and the world itself is so wierd.

My Favourite book so far is "Going Postal", A story of a conman who is tasked with the mission to run a dilapitated old post office.

I have just begun reading "Making Money", which is the sequal to the story from "Going Postal"...

Brandon Sanderson to finish the Wheel of Time

Tue, 11 Dec 2007 08:06:30 GMT

Tor Books has announced that Brandon Sanderson has been selected to complete A MEMORY OF LIGHT, the final novel in the Wheel of Time saga. Here is the press release:

-----Press Release----

Tor Books announced today that novelist Brandon Sanderson has been chosen to finish writing the final novel in Robert Jordan's bestselling Wheel of Time fantasy series. Jordan--described by some as Tolkien's heir--died Sept. 16 from a rare blood disease. The new novel, A Memory of Light, will be the 12th and final book in the fantasy series which has sold more than 14 million copies in North America and more than 30 million copies worldwide. The last four books in the series were all #1 New York Times bestsellers.

Harriet Popham Rigney, Jordan's widow and editor, chose Sanderson to complete A Memory of Light--which Jordan worked on almost daily for the last few months of his life--and will edit it. Rigney said some scenes from the book were completed by Jordan before his death, and some exist in draft form. "He left copious notes and hours of audio recordings," she said. He also revealed details about the end of the series to close members of his family.

Sanderson, who acknowledged Jordan as an inspiration to him as a writer, has established a loyal fan base as the author of three fantasy novels: Elantris, Mistborn and The Well of Ascension (Tor), as well as a YA novel, Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians (Scholastic Press). Sanderson said, "I'm both extremely excited and daunted by this opportunity. There is only one man who could have done this book the way it deserved to be written, and we lost him in September. However, I promise to do my very best to remain true to Mr. Jordan's vision and produce the book we have all been waiting to read."

A Memory of Light is scheduled for publication in fall 2009.

I aten't dead, yet!

Well, The fourth book of the Cataclysm is now out... Thanks Dymocks! I've been waiting so long for this!

The world does not "go back" to the way it was before though... Oh well...

Oh, And NWPPS and NWROCIG, They are going along fine, just don't get me started on the BUGS that AROSE BECAUSE I TRUSTED THAT M$ NEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING IN VS2005, CLEARLY NOT! BUGS GALORE!

THANK GOD for blogs.

Oh and LOST, I wish it would come back on in October, I also wish that channel seven would show Stargate SG1 at a reasonable timeslot, With Atlantis following, as they are meant to be played together (SG1 Series 9 and Atlantis Series 2)

FINAL FANTASY 12! Coming soon, It got 100% in a Japanese gaming magazine (well 40/40, but still) It looks good. Stay tuned for my verdict!

My final shout NEVERWINTER NIGHTS 2, What more can be said?
