Technology, Books and Other Neat Stuff

I'd be very interested to see if you still think so after reading The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents (or whatever that novel's called). It's ... it's completely and totally of Discworld, and yet, it's a novel that, if I'd read it FIRST, before finding all the rest, would not only have made me rabid to read them -- they'd have left me disappointed afterwards. It's a totally different thing.

I mean, I know he admits flat-out that he hadn't learned how plot really worked till several books into Discworld, but this? He's finally learning to *write*. Not just, y'know, sentences, paragraphs, plot, characters; but orgasmic writing.
