I still mostly adore this book, but will be away from my paper books for a bit.

It's an accounting trick. I'm still listening to the same audiobook, but my plan is to listen through the first book (1/4) and see how I feel, possibly take a break.

First part of the Deverry: Books 1-4 box set.

What are the odds I'm going to listen to this entire monster without longish interruption. Probably I should break my review (if any) into constituent books.

I'm about half way through this. I'm reading it on my phone which at the moment is less enticing than audiobook while multitasking or a paperback in the bathtub. I am not a big reader of short stories, I think perversely because of a lack of attention span. I have a hard time keeping in my head what I think about a collection of stories, especially a big collection like this. Just looking at the table of contents I have a clear recollection of maybe half of the stories I read so far.

I'm a sucker for a good deal. USD12.99 for 58 hours of audiobook! I hope the narration is good as @kitkerr@wandering.shop says, because that's a lot of narration.

@loppear@bookwyrm.social Now you're just showing off ;).

So far I am enjoying this much more than the last Discworld novel I re-read (Reaper Man). Who knows, maybe I'm just in a better mood, or maybe Pratchett developed as a writer in the intervening 19 novels.
