I cant figure out what it was that turned me off from it but I could barely even get started. <br /><br />A friend suggested the other day that, when people read UA, they go into it looking forward to reading a terrific fan fiction that just borrowed discworld as a setting. Let me know if that perspective actually helps any.Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16479922102182096621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1151104800383749286.post-83529511924298819352010-01-15T21:49:05.848-06:002010-01-15T21:49:05.848-06:00I love Pratchett.

Anything Vimes. I love Sam Vimes. I lust for Sam Vimes. Is that sad?<br /><br />I still haven't finished UA. It's too painful. The magic isn't there. The words are flat. The characters just sit there, on the page, none of them speak to me. So sad.<br /><br />Alzheimer's is a cruel bitch of a disease and if I have one question to ask God, it will be, "WHAT THE FUCK?
