If you like Terry Pratchett you will probably like Magic Kingdom. It's one of my favourite books :)

I've not had chance to read Terry Brooks (add it to my long list of things I should read) but I like the title :)

Very cool! Wish I was near enough to attend. I think Terry Brook's Magic Kingdom for Sale should hit the stage. Or they should make it into a movie. Or both.

Good advice, Ben. Guards Guards! is another "start of the series" books, so that's a good one too.

LAMB sounds like it would be brilliant. I've not heard about Christopher Moore until now, I shall check him out.

I'll try to get some sneaky photos of the show for you :)

2012-01-17T18:09:53.520Z

It's going to be a blast. I can't go to the Hitchhiker's production in London so this is the next best thing - and it's practically on my doorstep!

Oh wow, that is really cool. I'd love to see t...

I'm not sure that's an easy one to start with, it wouldn't be very clear who Susan was... I'd start with Mort, or Wyrd Sisters.

Wow, how cool! Lucky you!

Wow, how cool! Lucky you!

2012-01-17T06:52:12.084Z

I've only read one Discworld book, Hogfather. I just couldn't get into it. But I do love Terry Pratchett's style, so I should give him another chance.

2012-01-17T06:32:29.370Z

Well obviously humorous fantasy would translate best on stage. Perhaps the Myth-Inc. series by Robert Asprin. Oh wait-- anything by Christopher Moore. L.A.M.B. would be hilarious.

2012-01-17T06:30:34.101Z

Many thanks. I know of Writing Excuses, but haven't heard Irreverent Muse. Shall check it out now. Thanks!

2012-01-17T06:30:00.360Z

I completely forgot about Spamalot, though to be fair, it is a pretty accurate portrayal of British life back in the Dark Ages ...
I can't recommend Pratchett enough, and the Pratchett/Gaiman collaboration was genius.

2012-01-17T06:28:55.770Z

I've not got that far in the series yet - the most recent Watch book I read was Jingo. The City Watch books are my favourite, so this should be a great event.

Not too far at all! Even if you can't make it,...

2012-01-17T06:28:20.959Z

Not too far at all! Even if you can't make it, I'll try to get some photos and a decent review up afterwards.

The Princess Bride would be epic as a musical. I'd love to see Inigo Montoya turn his famous line into a full song.

PS. If you're still looking for good writing podcasts, I'd recomend Writing Excuses and Irreverent Muse.

2012-01-17T03:20:40.618Z

I haven't read any Discworld books (I am shamed), but I've been meaning to, especially since a friend forced The Omen on me. I'm not sure how Fantasy would translate to the small stage, barring Spamalot, of course.

2012-01-17T00:06:48.989Z

The Monstrous Regiment production looks fab, thanks for the heads up! I feel a road trip coming on (it's only about 3 hours each way lol). Going to have to see if I can convince any of my friends to keep me company :o)

2012-01-16T23:57:38.257Z

Monstrous Regiment? Really? That seems... odd. It was easily my least favorite Discworld book with the least interesting characters.

Personally, The Princess Bride the musical!

2012-01-16T23:34:18.275Z

I've heard that a few US adaptations of the play have been done, but I've not heard of anything near your neck of the woods. I'll keep my ears pricked for anything, though.

2012-01-16T23:30:20.945Z

I once saw the Hobbit as a live stage show. It was lots of fun. I'd love to see Terry Pratchett's Monstrous Regiment, but I doubt it will come to Oz.
