I've recently discovered Terry Pratchett's "Thief of Time". Could some kind shippy please tell me which month or page it was read on? It was my first experience of TP and since then have read a couple more. I intend to devour the lot!

Whoops, thanks Ariel for editing my last post.
I've started the December thread; Curiosity, I was unsure whether you want to lead this one.
I'd be delighted if you do, but no pressure!

Have we ever read any of David Lodge's books. I'm reading A Man of Parts at the moment, but there are lots of others that I think might merit a discussion specially How Far Can You Go? .

Yes, we read a David Lodge long enough ago for me to not be sure which novel it was.
I'm thinking it might have been Nice Work.
Anyway,A Man of Parts looks interesting; a fictional biography!
What do others think - shall I add it or another Lodge to our programme?

I'll just read Time's Echo by Pamela Harthorne and thoroughly enjoyed it. I've been ill and it was an ideal book for three in the mroning when you can't sleep! Does anyone else fancy reading it? It does have witchcraft in it, which might put some people off.

That looks good, Gussie. I'm quite taken with the Amazom reviews.
