It has been a long while since my last post. October has been a terrible month for reading. Not that the opportunities were missing, I had all the time to read. Rather, I just played games and watched TV. I'm hoping November proves a better month. But I am starting to fear that I will not reach 100, but will at least reach 80, maybe even 90.
Anyways...Another fine book by Pratchett that is a cross between Hamlet, Macbeth, and every other Shakespeare play and their conventions. I wouldn't say it was a parody, and parody has taken on such terrible association as Date Movie, Scary Movie 3 and 5, and Disaster Movie, which shamelessly call themselves parody or even (gasp) satire. Pratchett weaves a nice story where the characters manage to be loveable and also eschew dramatical conventions.
