Today, I googled for “Yin! Tan! Tetra!” on a whim, and landed up here- the Annotated Pratchett File<\/a>. I’ve spent a happy five hours or so browsing through it, and other documents on lspace.org.<\/p>\n

In case you don’t already know, I’ve been hooked to Terry Pratchett ever since I first received The Truth<\/em> as a birthday present two years ago. Since then, I’ve read twelve of the Discworld novels, with sixteen more to go. I plug them unashamedly (and no, I’m not getting any money for this).<\/p>\n

I’m quite pleased to find out that I’d already spotted most of the references in the books (which, by the way, are parodys of a high order). What I’m blushing about is not spotting most of the references made in Soul Music<\/em>, the book that I’ve found the funniest ever yet.<\/p>\n

Soul Music is a delightful parody on rock n’ roll. Though most of the references in it are to Blues Brothers<\/em> and Meatloaf<\/em>, which I’m not really informed about, there were lots of others that were about songs or bands that I knew. I’m kicking myself for not seeing ‘in a coat that he borrowed from James Dean’. Urrgh.<\/p>\n

I realise that most of you will not understand a word of what I’m saying. The solution to this is simple. Go buy the book and read it. Once you’re done, make a small altar and place it there. Worship it daily.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, just read the synposis at the site. If you really want to do the wimpy thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
