Unseen Academicals by Terry Pratchett

The first seventy-seven pages of Terry Pratchett's forthcoming Unseen Academicals - the newest book in his Discworld series - are now available on harpercollins.com. In UA Mustrum Ridcully, the Archchancellor of Unseen University, decides to set up a football team - which is, I'm guessing, not a very good idea...

The book is being released on October 1st.

Thank you. Thank you very much. I shall indeed be buying this.

Is Raising Taxes still on the cards?

I think there is a new Tiffany Aching book, I Shall Wear Midnight, up next, and then Raising Taxes after that.

I want more Moist von Lipvig books and another Death book.
But its cool he's still writing, even though hewas going to stop because he's got a form of Alzheimers.

Yeah, you've got to think there's a chance this will be his last book.

Dear god I hope he gets more out.

Can't wait to get this in a few weeks' time though. I've a yearning for some thaumaturgical hijinx. I wonder if Hex will be involved..

I don't think that he'll stop writing as long a he's still capable of doing so. He's having far too much fun.

Going to be a sad day when he finally reaches the point where he simply is incapable of doing it anymore.

Indeed he is a legend among civil folk.

There is a Discworld social group here.

Do pop in if your interested in discussing Pratchett and his work.

The group is run by the former Second Spartan, now known as [user]The Librarian[/user]

You know as great as Discworld series is his other stuff doesnt get enough credit. I absolutely adored reading The Bromeliad trilogy to my daughter few years ago and she absolutely loves the nomes over Harry Potter And I still say Good Omen is about as good of a novel you can get when two fantastic writers decide to write a book together.
