In her most "let's take this seriously" vein, she baked some cookies and packed them up in a personalised Discworld box before going to the gig with one of her pals. There was to be a reception afterwards in the magnificent Long Room of the TCD Library, but daughter was anxious lest they exclude her as being a) too young b) not a student c) not a Protestant. Her anxiety turned to panic as, at the end of his talk, everyone stood and the guest was processed down the aisle to the door at the back of the auditorium. Accordingly she stood up and teetered along the chairs behind a row of aisle-blockers to plunge to the tiles as he passed crying "Terry, I baked you cookies!" He was both disconcerted and gracious and said "That deserves a kiss", at which he placed a chaste buss on the daughter's cheek.<br />She was allowed into the reception afterwards and even succeeded in getting her copy of "Good Omens" signed by The Great Man. It was indeed a teenager's night to remember. Within a few months, Neil Gaiman was in Dublin at a book-signing and she got the co-author to counter-sign the title page. Now that Pratchett is no longer signing anything, that book will acquire a little monetary value but it's not for sale.BobTheScientisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02038631019672961663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-64235802167489295152020-12-28T23:42:44.557-06:002020-12-28T23:42:44.557-06:00I rarely actually read these bookshelf pieces but ...I rarely actually read these bookshelf pieces but the Terry Pratchett books caught my eye.

When I visited her mom's house last year, I got to see 9 of them. Of course, I touched them all - it's the closest I'll ever get to an Emmy!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-8694528930158551422013-11-04T19:05:33.627-06:002013-11-04T19:05:33.627-06:00I'm impressed that no fewer than three people ...I'm impressed that no fewer than three people in this series own a copy of the limited edition <i>Once More With Footnotes</i> -- the sure sign of a committed Pratchett fan. It's also intriguing that most of your Pratchett books are on the top shelf, in contrast to mine which live near the bottom of my bookcase (as posted on 27 September).<br /><br />I don't think there are any non-Pratchett books I recognise.
