Is Terry Pratchett considered Sci-Fi? Or is it just Fantasy? At any rate, I <3 him so much. How he combines political satire with popular culture references and then adds them to a whole 'nother solar system, like ours, but on the back of a turtle.

I also got a Kindle for Xmas, I just need to figure out how to use the damn thing...Anyone? Spock?
I would put Pratchett in the realm of fantasy having the exact same relationship to fantasy as Douglas Adams did to science fiction.

Anytime you want to hang out, June, I'm happy to show you around the Kindle.

And thank you for saying I was Spock-like (Spocksh?), that's the second nicest thing I've heard all day. "Belly saying "I love you" being the first"

Cheers

And so, the children of the revolution were faced with the age-old problem: it wasn’t that you had the wrong kind of government, which was obvious, but that you had the wrong kind of people. As soon as you saw people as things to be measured, they didn’t measure up." (Terry Pratchett)
