As I understand it, he has trouble speaking, or rather - keeping his words focused enough to speak.
This is the programme I saw, if you have the time to watch it. I know he's seriously considering assisted suicide.
I started watching it earlier today and I'll finish watching later when I get a chance. Thank you for the link. It's a fascinating lecture, but also upsetting to know that he's slowly losing his faculties. :sad:
I loved AHS, Ryan Murphy back to his creepy, twisted best.
Also sweet petite, i JUST got into the discworld novels after seeing a couple of adaptations (Ian Richardson, what a loss ]: ) but I'm not sure where to start. Is there an order? Any advice??
As an aside; I hate book publishers. I've bought "A song of ice & fire" and a couple of discworld novels since Xmas. I'm getting thru them. And huggles for your tyke!!
I started with the first one, but I started reading them out of order after the first two. Here's a
good guide to them. I've read almost all of them now. My favorite ones are the Death novels and The Watch novels, but I really like them all. My favorite characters are probably Death and Sam Vimes. I've enjoyed following Sam Vimes' life.
Was that the Hogfather movie? I watched it on Christmas day! :smile:
I wish I had "Where's My Cow" to read to my little tyke. He's under the weather at the moment.

I should start a Terry Pratchett thread. :smile:
I think you're right - I already had the world/characters pictured in my head before the show, so a helluva lot of the stuff niggled me.
I don't watch much tv, but I enjoyed AHS - I'm a really jumpy though, so that's about my limit for scary. I think Ilona Andrew's is classed as Urban Fantasy, so it really depends if you like that kind of stuff - for me, it makes a nice change from academic reading. Sometimes it's just nice to read something frivilous
I understand what you mean. The exact same thing happened to me with Anne Rice. Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise are very attractive men, but nothing like what I imagined the characters would be like and I just couldn't get past that with the movie. I might have enjoyed it if I didn't already have such a strong idea of what it should be like, but instead I was just annoyed. :tongue:
I really don't think I favor certain genres. I think I like novelty, encountering things that aren't like what I've read in the past. It's the only explanation for how schizophrenic my reading tastes are. I don't really know if I'll like something until I've tried it, and there's so much in the world to try. I'll check Ilona Andrew out. :smile:
After both you and Stukay suggested AHS, I really want to check that out, too.. I'm really jumpy, like you. I look away when zombies attack in horror movies, that's how squeamish I am. :redface:
