Unseen Academicals by Terry Pratchett My rating: 3 of 5 stars It pains me to give a Discworld novel a less than stellar rating, but I found this one lacking in some way. It started out promisingly -- the wizards at Unseen University find that in order to keep a sizable endowment, they must play …

Going Postal by Terry Pratchett My rating: 5 of 5 stars Going Postal is an utterly delightful book to read. My last Discworld novel wasn't as good, so I was hoping for a return to form by Pratchett, and I am not disappointed. The book is a prequel to one I read a few weeks …
