The Fifth Elephant, according to B&N, will be here in March and they’ve been taking advance orders for it for months. And that is so cool Da Ace, I’m a member of the Science Fiction Book Club and I have that addition. I also want to get Rincewind the Wizzard from them, since it has Sourcery and three other Rincewind books.
Oh, and as for him coming in March, I don’t really know why. Maybe it’s because that’s the release date of his new book in the US. But here’s the specifics for his tour.

I subscribe to Discworld Monthly, which I get through e-mail. Oh, and here’s another interesting tidbit as I scroll through all this.
Terry will be a guest at the Gateway Sci-Fi Media Convention
(http://stlf.org/gateway) this summer and in honour of his presence
Beyond Reality Games is hosting a Discworld Live Action Role-Playing
game.
If you are going to be in the Mid-West of the United States on the
weekend of July 14-16, you might want to stop by. Even if you
aren’t or can’t, please pass this news on to anyone you know that
might be interested!
Below is the description of our event from the Gateway programming
page:
Discworld Live Action Role Playing - play the part of denizens of
the Discworld, in a 36-hour live game, featuring wizards,
witches, trolls, and possibly animated travel accessories. The
game is free form, allowing you to step out to get an autograph
or listen to a speaker, and step back in at your leisure. Space
may be limited, so please e-mail Josh Jeffryes
jspektr@sprynet.com for advance registration if you are
interested (there is a small charge to participate in the LARP,
paid when it begins. Pre-registration is for intent to play only,
it does not require advance payment).
If you want to subscribe to DM too, here’s the addy

Hope that fills everyone in 
Oh, and I should add one more to the list that I haven’t read - Guards! Guards! My first book was Men at Arms and I was hooked from then on. I’ve read the Bromeliad and Johnny Maxwell, Strata and Good Omens. And I have to agree, that book is one of the funniest I’ve ever read.
If anyone’s looking to find out of print Pratchett books, they always have them on Ebay at very reasonable prices. That’s where I just got Guards! Guards! and I’m going for Reaper Man next.
When are you going to realize being normal isn’t necessarily a good thing?
