	I've never read a book with Luggage in it, so I can't comment on him/her/it. Has anybody played the Discworld games? Discworld Noir is a great detective game, though I never saw the end since my rented copy was scratched and refused to play the ending movie. -----signature----- Darth Revan Fan Club: Technical Specialist Uncle Eddie was my favourite wrestler Gentle Giant owns my bank account.

	I started the first pc game but I didn't get anywhere. It was so screwed that my mind couldn't keep up with the twist. Still I found it very funny, laughed a lot and still have it. Luggage? What a chest! -----signature----- Padawan owned by Corellian_Ale Self-Appointed Indoctrinatress of CloneCaptainRex.

	Luggage is an it, but it is a male it. It is a chest on hundreds of little legs that follows its owner everywhere. It is made from sapient pearwood; magical due to exposure to magic in the Mage wars. Luggage is invicable,immune to magic, it eats everyone apart from its owner; Rincewind/Twoflower and is generally a homocidal manaic. It wants two things: >An owner >Total extinction of all other life forms If you wanted to know; the sound it makes when it walks is: thup thup thup thup... Also if you hadn't noticed its not very nice. -----signature----- Regret, Regret, Regret ¤Acolyte of Revan¤ If something is hard to do, its not worth doing.

	Maybe some Aussie would tell me if it's more fun if you know about Australia? I do like The Last Continent. Maybe I'm just feeling smug for spotting the in-jokes (half-Australian) but I like it. I like the creation of the duck-billed platypus and the squadrons of balladeers. Night Watch and Going Postal are my current favourites. IMHO, Pratchett's later ones tend to be better overall - maybe it's the leaning towards a darker kind of humour, I don't know. Sam Vimes in NW is fantastic - he could be cynical for the Discworld; Moist von Lipwig in GP deserves another book. I think he'd make a great running protagonist, much as with Rincewind, Vimes, Granny Weatherwax and Susan. Overall favourite, though, Interesting Times. I don't know quite why, but it's great; plenty of Rincewind, plenty of the Silver Horde (great supporting characters all) and of course the Luggage finding love. -----signature----- BeTS Best Author '08 NEW Eleven Summers - http://boards.theforce.net/a/b1/29657584 Lightning and Diamonds - http://boards.theforce.net/a/b1/29251762 Into The Shining Day - http://boards.theforce.net/a/b1/29224914

	I hope they come back, or at least cameo. Can you imagine baby Luggages that haven't been housetrained? People would get hurt. -----signature----- BeTS Best Author '08 NEW Eleven Summers - http://boards.theforce.net/a/b1/29657584 Lightning and Diamonds - http://boards.theforce.net/a/b1/29251762 Into The Shining Day - http://boards.theforce.net/a/b1/29224914

	That would be pretty funny.

I like Interesting Times, because it made Rincewinds charater much more understandable; who else could accidently find a whole army? -----signature----- Regret, Regret, Regret ¤Acolyte of Revan¤ If something is hard to do, its not worth doing.

	Eric is still on the list of ones I haven't read - sounds interesting though . . . who else could accidently find a whole army? Who indeed? And where else could you find a character whose solution to being trapped in a mudhole with sizzling magic armour is to do a charade of "Oh**ohoh*I'mgoingtodie"? I love charades, so that was a high point. -----signature----- BeTS Best Author '08 NEW* Eleven Summers - http://boards.theforce.net/a/b1/29657584 Lightning and Diamonds - http://boards.theforce.net/a/b1/29251762 Into The Shining Day - http://boards.theforce.net/a/b1/29224914

	I love it when Rincewind just destroyed a bunch of bandits because they tried to steal his hat and his only reason why is: "It was my hat!" -----signature----- "I feel like a more down-to-earth Pink 5 when I'm writing Leah.

	LOL! But a hat is very important to a wizard, it defines them. Especially when it has "Wizzard" written on it. ROFL! -----signature----- "How am I gonna get a girl? I drive around in a garbage truck!" - Hellboy Me in a film: http://copperraven.com/movies/ahoweb.wmv

	Anybody except me bought 'Where's my cow'? Got a book-voucher fo x-mas, perfect opportunity to buy a horribly expensive and rather useless book. (Which nevertheless ist great millenium hand and shrimp) btw, does 'millenium hand' have any meaning at all (I'm no native speaker...) Just it turned up in a Jonny book, too and I startted to wonder... -----signature----- Padawan owned by Corellian_Ale Self-Appointed Indoctrinatress of CloneCaptainRex.
