I&#8217;ve had more people than I can count ask me to host a sort of &#8220;Discworld So Far&#8221; style Q&amp;A on the site, mostly as a way for me to reflect on the lengthy journey I&#8217;ve been on. The time finally came where I would be home and (relatively) available to pull this off, so LET&#8217;S HAVE SOME FUN.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Now, the idea of this is as follows: I get to think about all nineteen\u00c2\u00a0<em>Discworld<\/em> books I&#8217;ve read since I started this project. Instead of compiling my thoughts into a single review (which would be challenging), YOU can ask me anything you like about the series. Favorite characters, favorite books, stuff about themes, puns, why Death is the best, who I&#8217;d like to be best friends with, etc. It doesn&#8217;t have to be all positive, nor does it have to be a question that can be answered with one word or a character name. Get philosophical! Think of it as a way for me to be reflective about this series in a way I would otherwise not be able to when reviewing individual parts.<\/p>\n<p>I often host these when I finish a series, but that&#8217;s a long way off. I&#8217;ll do another one once I finish the last book! For now, I&#8217;ll just address what I&#8217;ve read, though you&#8217;re welcome to ask me about predictions, expectations, or desires. I am currently busy on my very last batch of reviews\/videos that I need to write before my Worldcon\/Europe tour, so I&#8217;ll be popping in every other hour or so when I&#8217;m not recording. And don&#8217;t feel like you need to\u00c2\u00a0<em>only<\/em> ask about\u00c2\u00a0<em>Discworld<\/em>. I&#8217;ll be reading every question, so if you&#8217;ve got a burning thing to ask of me, feel free!<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, HAVE FUN.
