I've tried to read Pratchett a few times and just can't get into it.
Started reading Steve Jobs on my kindle last night.

Neither could I, then a friend recommended one of trilogies for children: The Bromeliad. I loved it, and I've read the first four Diskworld books without a problem and with much enjoyment. This one is taking its toll thouhg.

Ordered a Kindle yesterday, got the free Kindle books from the Amazon 12 Days of Christmas promotion and my Gf has been thinking about getting the Sony through Thalia, but as I have an Amazon Prime, I thought I'd get the Kindle to test...
