Well, I guess I'll have to do a reread of Clancy since I haven't read any of those since they came out decades ago. In the meantime, I've been on a hiatus but currently reading Howling Dark. Once I read that I will have to divert to DCC.

My latest completed book is The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett, and I'm about to start A Parade oh Horribles by Matt Dinniman, book 8 of the DCC series.

I enjoyed The Color of Magic but feel like there would be more appreciation for it if I had found it 30 or 40 years ago. The Sharpe books hold more interest for me at this time.

Read the whole series of books the Off Campus show on prime is based on. A little annoyed they mangled one of the best scenes in book 1.

Currently on book 3 of Zodiac Academy because two friends are reading it. I'd hesitate to encourage young women to read these books, because the first one is rapey af, and power imbalance in relationships is normalized. If your kids are reading it, I'd discuss it with them.

The Discworld books really improve as the series goes on. It takes him a few books to hit his stride, but once he does, Pratchett is gold.

Thanks. There is a reason so many of his books are listed on "must read" lists, and I'm sure I'll get back to the Discworld universe, but there are other books to rad right now.
