    Who else intends on watching this?

    i love terry pratchet and my heart goes out to him and his family, has he was recently diagnosed with alzheimer's!!

    the colour of magic:

    The main character is the incompetent and cynical wizard Rincewind, who involuntarily finds himself as a guide to the naive tourist, Twoflower. After they are forced to flee from the city of Ankh-Morpork after a terrible fire they are sent on a journey across the disc which is unknowingly being controlled by a board game being played by the Gods. They meet two barbarians on their way out of morpork, Bravd and Weasel.

    After their visit to Wyrmberg, the upside-down mountain which is home to dragons that only exist in the imagination, their journey leads them to the country of Krull, perched on the very edge of the Discworld where they are thrown off the edge of the Disc due to the Krullian's urge to find out the gender of Great A'Tuin (the turtle which is swimming through space with four elephants resting the Disc on top).

    The story is continued in the succeeding Discworld novel, The Light Fantastic

    Looks like they are going to have DEATH in the movie of the first book. DEATH always speaks in capital letters ( and vice versa - that's a clue, sometimes), and I'm worried they're going to screw up that voice.

    the thief of time would be AWSOME as a movie but REALLY hard to do because of all the people who couldnt move for most of it

    I want to see the nightwatch turned into a movie
