I should really try to post these immediately after finishing the books. Oh well.
56) "Marco Polo" - John Lucarotti. Yet another Dr. Who book, surprising to me in it's detail and ambition, but poorly executed in written form. I can't even imagine how it must have played as actual eps. Must have gone on and on and freakin' on. They travel from mountains (the Himalayas, I think?) across the Gobi desert and eventually to Peking by way of caravan, hanging out at inns, playing chess, getting lost in sandstorms, etc, etc. I got the impression toward the end that whoever was adapting it for book form (Lucarotti himself?) was bored of writing it and things started to just sound a little cranked out and plopped down.
57) "Thud" - Terry Pratchett. I know what chocolate tastes like, but that doesn't ever stop me wanting to eat it. I liked it, there were any number of cute scenes and funny lines and such, but I've got to admit there was a sort of paint-by-numbers feel to this one. However, I do want Angua/Sally/Carrot fic, now. Is there any out there? Why is it that the only time I see femmeslash it's in Pratchett works?
