What's the first line on the 46th page of the book closest you?

[jen26]

Yeah. A neighbor's cat had kittens - evidently Sam was female - so we rescued two from a futere at the animal shelter before they even got there. All five are adopted now; my neighbor didn't have to dump a single one at the animal shelter!

Dangerous Beans was awesome! But I think I like Sardines and Peaches best.

Mmm.... yeah, maybe. OH! Wait! I forgot Darktan. Very Cool. I must have a different copy to yours, because our page 46 is:

"You can trust a cat to be a cat!" Said Hamnprk. "Talking or not!"
"Yes, sir. but we are different, and so is he. I believe he is a decent cat at heart."

*grins* And then just down that page comes:

"But now we are here, let's get organised."
Hamnpork growled. "Who are you to say 'let's get organized'?" he said sharply. "Are you the leader, you female who refuses to rllk with me? No! I am the leader. It's my job to say "let's get organised"!'
"Yes, sir," said Peaches, crouching low. "How would you like us to be organised, sir?"
Hamnpork stared at her..."Just... get organized," he muttered. "Don't bother me with details! I am the leader."

Actually, that's quite a sad one.

I know I have the American version...maybe that's it.
I know--Hamnpork always struck me as kind of sad but funny in the best and worst way possible. *sigh*

*nods* Well, I have the... probably the UK version.
Yeah, you're right about hamnpork. Tragicomedy, I s'pose...

I like the American cover better, I think.
Yeah, that seems to be Pratchett's gift. Ever read the Discworld series--specifically, Small Gods?

[Birdhead]

ALL the Discworld! of course! And Good Omens (have you read Good Omens?)

I see what you mean about Small Gods.

No, my library is frustratingly slow. I get like one every two weeks...I've only read the first four or five.

[Birdhead]

Oh! How sad for you... well, Good Omens isn't a Discworld book, it's a collaboration between Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. It's great. It's about what happens when the Antichrist just wants us all to get along...

I know. On a good day I get 10 or so, and I read them all in one or two days depending on their length.
Hmm. Sounds interesting...but according to the Scriptures, that's what the antichrist will do. But that belongs to another thread...anyway, I love The Amazing Maurice. Don't you wish there was a sequel? Only maybe that would spoil it...

Yeah, a sequel would be kinda cool. But it did sort of come to a logical finishing point where it was: the only purpose to a sequel would be for us to ee the charas again...
