Discworld

So I get this job out in the wilds of Leicestershire... It's quite a hike from Nottingham, forty odd miles each way. But it's a job, and it's challenging, and it could almost be described as a 'career'.

And on top of that I get to spend an hour every morning and an hour every evening listening to some uplifting and inspirational audio. When we car share, it's normally Sir Terrence Wogan in the morning and Chris Evans in the evening. But when I make the journey by myself, I've discovered Audio Books. I started out listening to some of the Star Wars series, and A History of Britain by Simon Schama, but I've moved up in the world now.

I've reached the loft heights of Terry Pratchett's Discworld.

I've been listening to them in order, now reaching Moving Pictures. Pyramids was good - I seem to have lost my paper copy of that book and hence I'd not read it for many years. As ever, of course, Guards Guards! is my favourite Discworld novel. This may change when I reach Making Money, however, which was the last Pratchett paperback I bought, and I've only had chance to read half of it.

I think a thank-you is due to Mr Pratchett, and of course to Nigel Planer, who really does the books justice.
