Satire On El Quatro

The art of trying to get someone's attention on the sly - my new favourite thing to analyse. I'm on the #4 bus this morning, earbuds in tact, and Lula and Sailor of Barry Gifford's Wild At Heart keeping me company en route to work. I notice the guy in front me of whip out his book and I start to get his attention with a little coquettish eye-play and smirks. Finally I get up and approach him since my stop is quickly approaching.

Eric is reading Terry Pratchett's The Last Continent. The book is about a fantasy land called Fournecks - a satire on Australia, I believe? (Someone correct me quick!) This book is one in a series of 28! Eric has read all but the latest book in the collection, and is actually re-reading The Last Continent in order to save money on books.


His favourite book at the moment would have to be Choke by Chuck Palahniuk and just like Ian he enjoyed Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. Satirical and Sci-fi books are pretty much his forte and can read these two genres non-stop! Speaking of stops, I totally missed my stop. So before I hopped off at the next one I squeezed in one last question. If Eric were tasked to write his own book it would be something that went against/questioned religion.


What Terry Pratchett book have you read?
