Having read every Discworld novel, in order of publication, right from the first, I am going to buy "Shepherd", read it (including the last page!), then put it on the bookshelf with all the others and pick up "The Colour of Magic" and start again.
I believe in that way, there will always be a 'New' pTerry novel to look forward to.
Sometimes, it just is, OK!

They do seem to hold up to repeated reading.
I noticed the same thing with the Fritz Lieber "Fafhrd & Grey Mouser" stories- having read them again after several decades. It's fascinating to see Lieber creating many of the tropes that Pratchett riffs on. Guilds for thieves and assassins that discourage competition? A personification of death with a quirky craftsmanlike approach to his work? A major decadent city, awash with pollution, with Ankh in its name? It's all there!

Like the reference to Pyramids. I will of course run out and buy and read the book this weekend. Thanks for the update.
It is too bad the last book isn't about Rincewind. (Who knows maybe he is in there !!)
It would have come full circle.
I will truly miss the man and his Works.
Speilberg should do a discworld movie the british efforts I have seen have not been up to par.
The eight year old kid in my 66 year old head would love that.

I'm feeling just the same! Actually I feel that way every time I start getting close to the end of any of his books - I just don't want it to end!

The question mark makes it sound tentative, you should only answer if you are sure.

It is tentative!
With these buggers I'm never sure!

How the hell would hill fit into that ?
Rules for the FOSW ![ ^]
if(this.signature != "")

Well it looks like a hill. And hills are often found near natural lakes
|
|
|
|

But the pattern mate

MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);

else
{

Well yeah, its more like a tent. but there are hills which are triangular shaped and go flat as they touch the ground. Believe me they do, at least in the paintings I make
Not a painter tho
|

|

You are right for sure
But it's not only about the visible pattern the last and first letter (because of _/_) have to be the same because of the _.
SO hill could have never ever been a right answer

if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

Oh I see.
Gotta go and read the rules for solving FOSW once again

I came up with a load of clues on paper at work yesterday, then decided not to go work today and came to Alton Towers instead.
So whilst I wait in line for a roller coaster jhave this nice easy one instead:
I cannot crack these fun codes(8)
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

You have gone to Altons Towers in the rain? Are you confused about what you should be doing today?
