		Fiona Carr, as temptress Janie McMichael, was appearing on stage at the Dylan Thomas Theatre for only the second time and there is little doubt that a little more experience will boost her ability and stage presence.
		This was a shame, since newcomers to the theatre - and perhaps those former friends of the company who had not paid a visit to the venue for some time - might have appreciated knowing a little more about some of the newer performers.

		The books can in general, be read in any order you like, but to get the most out of them and understand the running jokes you really need to read them in some sort of order.
		The first few books, it is generally agreed, are not as good as the later ones and you may be put off the Discworld series by reading them first.

		Pratchett was quoted, in an article excerpt on www.lspace.org, that he "never got into the habit of writing chapters", and that he must divide the young adult books into chapters because "his editor screams until he does".
		Each book could be seen as containing a short Discworld novel in its own right, with chapters switching between the story and notes on real science related to it.
		One interesting element of Discworld, certainly one that distinguishes it from much other fantasy, is its relative lack of recurring or overarching villains.

	Terry Pratchett & Stephen Briggs: The New Discworld Companion
		Pratchett has excessively prolific in the nine years since this edition was published, necessitating the publication of The New Discworld Companion, which covers the sixteen novels and two short stories of the first book as well as fourteen additional novels, maps, diaries, cookbooks, popular science texts, and, finally, an additional short story.
		One of the interesting features of The New Discworld Companion is the decision not to outline all the adventures suffered by the various characters.
		The book also serves a useful purpose to those only now diving into the Discworld, in that they can use it to gain insight into some of the off-hand comments made in the books based on the long history Pratchett has with his characters and his world.

		I suggest reading them in order, especially because in the early books discworld is an entire different age where barbarians fight and magic controls, later on society (especially Ankh-Morpork) changes and becomes more modern.
		However Pratchett is slowly moving Discworld into new worlds and with each step it loses a little bit of middle ages and gets more modern times characteristics.
		But yeah Discworld changes and Pratchett got rid of all the barbarians in the world who still roamed the plains back in color of magic.
