Sorry about the thread necromancy, just hadn't logged on in a while.

You make a fair point about my conceptions of media portrayals of Rowling colouring my views of her writing. I've read the first 5 HP books (so at least I'm not just venting at the media), but it seems - given my tastes and prior reading - that they're not for me.  ::)

Apologies for any hurt/offence caused to Rowling fans by the manner in which I expressed my opinions.

As to Pratchett. His more recent books actually go beyond being a giggle. "Night Watch", "Feet of Clay" and "Fifth Elephant" in particular are worth a read, hopefully even a casual reader of his books will enjoy them.

We let this die now?

I've read Night Watch and Feet of Clay, and they are certainly Pratchett's best. The Captain of the Guard is the only Discworld character I like.
