	Lords and Ladies Book at Shop Ireland
		Lords and Ladies is enough to get a new reader hooked on Pratchett's unique genius, but you won't truly appreciate this novel unless you read Wyrd Sisters and Witches Abroad first.
		Lords & Ladies, the 14th novel in Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, is a wonderful return to Pratchett form for me. It is laugh-out-loud funny and a wonderful parody of Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream.
		Lords and Ladies is one of the best discworld novels, a laugh-out-loud, page-turning adventure that will keep you enthralled and definately one you'll read over and over and over again, if only for the bit where Magrat gets so angry she even manages to scare Greebo!

		The second Discworld graphic novel, THE LIGHT FANTASTIC was originally published in the USA in four parts and here lies one of the weaknesses of the book: the artwork is slightly inconsistent as there were a number of artists involved in the process.
		The plot of LORDS AND LADIES concerns the reappearance of elves on the Discworld.
		But at the end of it all, Lords and Ladies in common with all good novels (fantasy or otherwise) is concerned with one thing above all else.

	ENG ENL 4122 British Novel Through Hardy
		Lords and ladies cannot afford to spend their precious time in reading novels, and, if they could, they bear no proportion to the commonality of the literary world.
		The purchasers of novels, the subscribers to circulating libraries, are seldom in more elevated situations than the middle ranks of life.
		Their fates have perhaps destined them to be a petty attorney or a silversmith’s daughter, a grocer’s son or a clergyman’s heiress; fortune positively refuses to realize any of their romantic dreams; and a quarter hour’s perusals of an unnatural novel has embittered all their lives” (562).

		The path to knighthood began at the age of seven, when a vassal sent his son to the lord’s house to become a page.
		These skills were learned by observing the lady of the castle and following her example.
		It was also common for the daughters of lords to learn to read and write.

	Critical Mass - Recommended reading
		Cormac McCarthy's new novel, No Country For Old Men, is terse, taut, and tense, a linguistically spare--almost stingy--meditation on the obsolecence of core human values in an increasingly inhumane and alienating world.
		To write a reticent novel about the complexities of human motivation, which in many ways is what McCarthy has done here, may seem to be a contradiction in terms: Complexity tends to require explication; novelistic elucidations of psychology are typically quite talkative about what characters are thinking and why they act as they do.
		I won't spoil the novel by saying more--only that this is a novel to read with speed and then to consider thoughtfully and with care.

		There are first novels that make you wonder exactly what hold the author had on the publisher to get the book published, and you hope that the author (or publisher) comes to his or her senses.
		There are first novels that are so brilliant that you wonder how the author could ever write another as good -- and he or she never publishes again.
		The novel is packed with details, including lots of information about gen cutting and related crafts, with a particularly striking explanation of how one makes a brilliant cut: Jena remembers her father demonstrating the cut on a raw potato.

	SciFan: Books: Carpe Jugulum by Terry Pratchett (from our database of Fantasy & SF novels, anthologies, collections)
		Carpe Jugulum is the 23rd Discworld novel, and with it this durable series continues its juggernaut procession onward.
		The plot is a version of an earlier Discworld novel, Lords and Ladies, with the predatory elves of that novel being replaced here by suave and deadly vampires, and the tiny kingdom of Lancre being defended by its witches.
		Pratchett's vampires are elegant Bela Lugosi types, and they come up against an unlikely but engaging alliance of witches; blue-skinned pixies like Rob Roy Smurfs; a doubting priest with a boil on his face; and a magical house-size Phoenix in a seamless, completely absorbing, and feel-good-about-the-universe mixture.

		On the Discworld wizards are men and witches are woman, but that may have to change when a wizard passes on his staff of power to a baby girl, Esk, and makes it her destiny to become a wizard.
		In this story, however, she is not fully developed so if you have read some of the later novels you may be disappointed by her character.
		The novel is only the third discworld novel, when the Discworld is only just starting to take shape.

		Stifled by the rules of propriety, even the era's richest lords and ladies often hid their true thoughts and feelings.
		Donoghue's empathy for the characters gives the novel added depth, but it is her love of research that recreates the time period with astonishing detail.

		In this first novel the Discworld is an altogether more 'classic fantasy' world - and not quite the urbanised, 'civilised' place we know today.

		This is the Discworld novel wherein Captain Sam Vimes of Ankh-Morpork's Night Watch retires and gets married, the Night Watch itself becomes an equal species organization, and Gaspode the Talking Dog falls in love with new recruit, Angua, the werewolf.

		I've not made any more on a novel since I started, and in fact, since the mid-list authors are getting crunched out, I've made less in royalties.
