Fantasy Books -Terry Pratchett

[icowden]

Holiday books for me are supposed to be big, otherwise I'll have finished them in a day or two. I prefer to only take 2-3 large books than several smaller ones.

Holiday books for me sit inside my kindle. Our recent holiday to Malaysia for our 20th wedding anniversary was hard enough - 3 weeks and only a 20kg baggage allowance - without adding the weight of books in!

NB - we ended up paying for an extra 5kg anyway!

I have read all the Pratchett books available in our local library but that is really only scratching the surface. The librarian has been trying to get others from the central library but I think they just ignore her.
Currently I have got The Thief of Time which I am rereading.

ToT is a low key favourite of mine as it has Susan in it who weaponises chocolate, and the idea of travel 'slicing' is also brilliant and nothing that another author could have come up with.

Dug out my copy of lord of the rings as i have not read it in a long time and as its a paperpack with all 3 books the print is so small i cant read it properly even with my glasses on unless i hold it about 3 foot away

Kindle is your friend. Or a large print version. Libraries get large print books so there must be versions of LotR in large print by now.

Indeed - there is also the Libby App which allows you to download library e-books (although it can be difficult to find any to take out in my experienve)

But you’d need a wheelbarrow to cart it around…

Also Borrowbox (Lancashire libraries use this).

Or a tame Dwarf, they can move fast and carry a lot apparently.

But only if you are somewhere the Pratchett books would be in the non-fiction section of the library

+1 for Borrowbox. Staffordshire use it and it works well

You can also have the kindle app on your phone. Obv it's a smaller screen so its a bit more page turning but rather that than being stuck for something to read. We have Kindle Fire's which are pretty cheap.
