Library

I read a lot of books, and I even try and write some too. This page contains links to books I've read and enjoyed, so I can find them again in the future (and others can read them too, if they're interested). It also houses copies of some of the short stories I've written, as well as links to download them as epub files that you can read on an e-reader such as a Kindle or Kobo.

Dates given for other people's work are the date I finished reading them; for my own work the date given is approximately when it was 'completed' - the date I first tried to submit it to a publisher.

Pyramids

A pitch-perfect satire on the themes of Ancient Egypt. No the strongest Discworld book in terms of plot, but definitely the funniest so far.

Wyrd Sisters

Fantastic characters and a genuinely different setting make this the best Discworld book so far. Highly recommend.

Sourcery

The weakest novel in the series so far. Not a terrible read, but feels like it constitutes mainly of recycled jokes from the first few books.

The Secret of Life

A mix of promising ingredients ruined by a lacklustre protagonist and overly descriptive prose.

The Vampire Genevieve

A very mixed bag of Warhammer mystery. At times beautiful, and at others unthinkingly misogynistic. The first two books are worth a try if nothing else is available, but the third is to be avoided.

Eisenhorn: The Omnibus

Fairly average Black Library fiction, though with more interesting plot and characters than usual. Really ends on a high with "The Magos", however, which is almost something special.

Mort

Manages to deliver the break in tone and setting that Equal Rites could not and has some excellent characters.

Another solid entry in the series, though it did tail off a little towards the end.

More insane comic fantasy. Very, very, fun.

The Colour of Magic

A lovely blend of social satire and pure madness, set in a fantasy world populated by beautifully observed, and very human, characters.
