All right Water Polo members, I'm going to read a Terry Pratchett book. I've never read him, but I heard he was really funny and I like funny books. Little did I know, his writings are not only supposed to be funny, but they are listed in the sci-fi/fantasy genre.
There's a series that he wrote called "Discworld" and my library doesn't have too many of his books in, so I just grabbed one ("Night Watch") as sort of a trial book.
...
So far my book talks about witches and the phantom of the opera. It's entertaining, but Pratchett might not be a book club repeat.
My friend Hilary also suggested that I read this book:
The Professor and the Madman by Simon Winchester
She said that it's about one of the men who helped to put the Oxford Dictionary together and, as the title suggests, he is quite insane. I think that it's a true story, but it might be historical fiction. I would have to check. I'm not sure what about the book makes her think that I would like it, but she seemed very sure that it's something I would enjoy and I trust her.
