You seem to have understood the book pretty well so far, CB
You're not sulking, I hope?

I don’t know what we’re supposed to do. I’ve never been in a book club before. |

High Priestess sounds pretty good. Do I get a badge? OK, I'm interested in Pratchett's use of similie - lots of things are 'like' things. While metaphors are lies, apparently. Any thoughts on that?

So who wants to start commenting on PPyramids (looks meaningfully at P'Virn)

That thought is already hurting my head, P-virn. Metaphors are lies?

My RL book club involves first discussing the book and rating it marks out of 5. This is followed by coffee & cake and general gossip. ===========================

Any thoughts on that? Well, I suppose if you’re introducing something odd, you have to explain it like something that isn’t as odd, and then your readers won’t think it’s odd. If you see what I mean. |

Glad you mark out of 5, they thought I was weird for not wanting marks out of 10. "We're in the centre of a mystical convergence here."
