My girlfriend did a lot of work on some of the costumes in the unis production of mort, and like most of the productions of his books he came and watched it. She met him and didnt take any of my books :(

But he's signed so many, that the unsigned ones are more rare and therefore must be more valuable. I have 19 signed by him that are probably virtually worthless. ;)

I would love the chance to say something sensible to him. I've met him briefly at 19 book signings over the years and somehow never manage to feel that I have. :oops:

I felt much the same after I met Dita Von Teese at a booksigning though. :lol:

When I got The Truth signed I actually got a photo taken for the local newspaper with him and my sister. :D

I have read only the one (The Brentford Triangle) and have meant to read others because I did like it, they are not bad and well worth a try. Completely insane though, so be warned.

Anyone got an order for the City Watch stories then? having problems trying to find out which ones were first.

Witches looks good, and being 3 books i cann't see me going wrong with them.

Going to add also Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone into the mix, realy liked the FF series as a kid.

Guards, Guards! is the best place to start.

I've honestly found that once I got a handle on the universe and basic characters, I could chop and change and read whichever took my fancy.

I don't think you have to read them in a certain order.

yeah i agree. I think an early 1 maybe 2 would enhance readings of later books. Im thinking this after recently listening to postal on audio book, fairly cool story but just knowing more about the world it was set in made it better for sure, references aside.

Theres no comprehensible chronological order though (man i love spellcheck).. maybe one on par with zelda
