Strata

[author3]

I know Strata is not a Discworld book.
All I want to know is should I buy Strata next Monday along with The Wit andf Wisdom of Discworld or should I just buy TWW because everyone says Strata is terrible.

 

[The Mad Collector]

Wit and Wisdom is crap, a total waste of money

Buy Strata it's really good and you get to see Terry working out Dscworld before he wrote any of the books

I enjoyed it, it's not one of his best but i thought once it got going it was quite good. I think it depends how much you would get it for...

 

[author3]

Well there both £5.
I love TWW I read it last year.

 

[Tonyblack]

Wit and Wisdom is just a collection of bits of the novels. Strata is a seperate story in its own right. There's a big difference between the two.

 

[DaveC]

I thought Strata was very good, well worth reading.

 

[Macarona]

I'm reading strata right now, I've been quite enjoying it but I can't seem to really sit down and read it for any reasonable length of time.

 

[author3]

Thanks everyone
I think I'll make my decision when I get to the bookshop

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

Lets us know which one you bought.

I might have a copy at home that you can HAVE.

 

[Quatermass]

Good concepts, but Strata didn't grab me.

 

[Bouncy Castle]

Nor me.

Nor did the Dark Side of the Whatsit, either.

I read starta and darkside just to complete the set and enjoyed them . Not a patch on Terrys other works but still readable. On the other hand i love the carpet people, The Bromeliad and Nation which are all non dw

Done also, one way or another, but didn't want to brag because you told off Pooh for sharing naughty methods.

Don't forget the Diaries then

Got me there, only have 2 + the Almanak, unless that counts as one then it's 3...
