Well I don’t follow Two and a half men so I am not up to date on that. But the latest ep of BBT was simply hilarious. The script writers are simply doing a brilliant job

(I’m not sure if I’m actually replying to your response, or just starting a new thread. I haven’t felt like a n00b in a while now, hmm.)

Yes, please link me to the recommended order of reading them. I’m sure I can procure them from somewhere…I usually don’t like sci-fi very much, so I’m hoping this will change that! You can just leave at as a comment on some entry of mine back on LJ, instead of e-mailing though? I never check this e-mail. :

I don’t know if I should talk about my thoughts re: The Time Traveller’s Wife before you read it (don’t want to bias you), since it tends to trigger a strong, polarising reaction amongst readers. Suffice to say that while it’s sweepingly romantic, it can also seem annoying. Depends on how you look at it, I guess.

I’ve not really watched too much of Two and a Half Men so I don’t really have an opinion about it (BBT and Two and a half are both produced by Chuck Lorre)

Good Omens is a brilliant book if you are into satirical fantasy. Discworld is an entirely different setting and many are individual books (with mild references to previous stories)
I’d suggest you start with any of them (I started with Guards Guards! which is brilliant imo) However, if you have access to a library or the full range of Discworld books, then somewhere, I have a reading order as the entire run should be read. If you wish, I can email that file to you..

You’ve read the Time Traveller’s wife? How’s it? I don’t know anyone who has it so I’ll probably buy it anyway

Oh and I also finished The Lost Army last evening and it’s good. Will put a two line review once I’m done with the list of read and to-read books.

I like The Big Bang Theory too. I’m surprised it’s made/produced(?) by the same people who worked on Two and a Half Men, which I LOATHE WITH THE PASSION OF A THOUSAND FIERY SUNS OMG.

I haven’t read any Terry Pratchett at all (except for Good Omens a long time ago)…what should I start with?

Oh, and I’d suggest borrowing The Time Traveller’s Wife to see if you like it first. It infuriated some people, whereas others absolutely adored it. Tell me what you think when you do finish reading it!
