It's sad, I love Discworld... but the last two Witch books just don't grab me. I think a lot of that has to do with how he writes about fat people. Probably like Maskerade I will come back to this at a later date and eventually finish it, but for now I'm going to read something else.

@lrw It's hard going back to older books (and other media) sometimes. I think that's one of the reasons I prefer newer written books and stuff in a lot of ways. Less (not entirely) likely to encounter attitudes and views that bother me.

I think this is probably an awesome book... but it's not the right book for me right now.

@coucou@bookrastinating.com I'm really excited for the Genki readers to come out because it'll be vocab I definitely know at my level, and good practice for reading. In English I'm a speed reader and definitely look more at the shape of a word vs registering each letter. I'm so, SO far from being able to do that in Japanese. I need to remember to slow down, sound out each individual character.
