Because I'm sometimes overfocused

[msagara]

... and I'd finished GOING POSTAL, Pratchett's latest novel, and I had reread all of the Watch novels in chronological order and was left with that slightly empty feeling one gets when one hasn't quite finished but there's nothing left to finish, I suddenly remembered that Google Is Our Friend, and, in an act much less lazy than is my wont, dug up a few words from alt.fan.pratchett, posted by the author in question.


"All this being said, at the recent DWcon I did a reading on the Friday
night and gave the audience a choice between part of the next adult
novel ( a Watch novel) and the next Tiffany/Feegle novel. They both got
loud cheers, but the latter's cheer was perceptibly louder. Maybe
there are two roads now."

I'm so excited :D. New Watch novel!

ETA: The new working titles, according to the site that tenebris so kindly pointed out are:

WINTERSMITH (Tiffany novel)
THUD (Watch novel)

Short shameful confession: I haven't read Night Watch yet

Short shameful confession: I haven't read Night Watch yet

I don't find this shameful -- well, okay, not to me <g>. I will frequently try to "hold" one Pratchett novel in abeyance as a Just In Case. Because he's one of the very, very few I authors whose works I can read in any state of mind, most particularly the bleak and unhappy one that requires a bit of elevation.

Otoh, I can't actually hold off on the Watch books with that in mind; in the need-to-read vs. the rainy day in the case of Vimes & co., the reading wins.

Kinda like I can't hold off on Jennifer Crusie.
