I have just finished Nation...

[Tonyblack]

Check out the Truckers Trilogy and the Johnny Maxwell books - they are well worth a look.

Isn't the trilogy called the Bromeliad with Truckers just as the first part :

Yes it is - I was trying to make it clear which books I meant though.

Just being cheeky

wow, i had an existential moment reading Nation. Not just because there's so much stuff in there about what we believe but also because the first pratchett book i ever read was carpet people, his first book as far as I know, and it was like reading the same book by the same person but with 30 odd more years of life experience. Then to top it all off there was the announcement that he had early onset alzheimer's, which is a national disaster all on its own in my opinion. And then, if you look at his pic on the dust jacket you'll see its the only one with him facing away from the camera. I cried for days!

I think Nation was a brilliant book but I didn't like Strata or The Dark Side of the Sun I thought they were not the worst books but definitly not the best but they were good enough

I actually quite enjoyed nation. I found it quite a good read.

I recently reread it and loved it just as much as the first time I read it.

I tried it awhile ago but just couldn't get into it.

But I had one unused Audible credit, and since Stephen Briggs is reading it I decided to download the audiobook version. Might like it better that way.

I had that problem as well, the first time. However, I persevered the second time, got into it after p30 or so, and really enjoyed it after that; one of his more thought provoking efforts (IMO).

Have not got around to reading it yet,but it's on the pile.
