I read one of the earlier ones, but was distracted by other series, way back then. A good one.

My Sci-Fi/Fantasy Recommendations: Edgar Rice Burroughs: Tarzan and John Carter series, especially. Terry Pratchett's Discworld series. The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, by Robert Heinlein. Isle of the Dead, and To Die in Italbar, by Roger Zelazny.

Wintersmith, by Terry Pratchett. It is the latest in his Tiffany Aching novels, set in Discworld.

I am sorry to hear of your loss. Loving thoughts to you and your family.

I highly recommend Terry Pratchett to all and sundry. His Discworld novels are a treasure. Always insightful, frequently funny, I have read them all and loved them all. Some Pratchett tidbits: And it came to pass that in time the Great God Om spake unto Brutha, the Chosen One: "Psst!" -- (Terry Pratchett, Small Gods) "[...] a number of offences of murder by means of a blunt instrument, to whit, a dragon, and many further offences of generalized abetting [...]" -- (Terry Pratchett, Guards! Guards!) A number of religions in Ankh-Morpork still practiced human sacrifice, except that they didn't really need to practice any more because they had got so good at it. -- (Terry Pratchett, Guards! Guards!) He hated being thought of as one of those people that wore stupid ornamental armour. It was gilt by association. -- (Terry Pratchett, Night Watch) The Assassin moved quietly from roof to roof until he was well away from the excitement around the Watch House. His movements could be called cat-like, except that he did not stop to spray urine up against things. -- (Terry Pratchett, Night Watch)
