Eric (Discworld #9)

Anyway, it will be interesting to re-read this; I probably have not touched it since my teen years

I plan to start later in the month but I checked my copy and unfortunately it is just text. That Faust crossed over - Eric title is interesting. After few novels i hated Rincewind character he was great in previous one so one more reason I am interested to read this is - Rincewind is back.

It is very short though.

I really enjoyed the portrayal of hell as bureaucracy. It's a gag that, if done well, can be really funny, IMO. I recommend Satan Loves You by Grady Hendrix in that vein.

Hello there! Although I couldn't join you last month, this time I am reading it =)
I have never read this on before, but it has been on my shelves for a long time (even a couple of years, I'd say) so I really wanted to read.
Let's see how it is. I'm starting today ^^

Are you done yet? lol, it's so short.

@ Marc Chicken and a feather note? Was funny but not that much to me, cant top headology brilliance of "You wont believe what she did to him..."
Cant find available Satan loves You but I will put it on my tbr in case i find it somewhere
@Sonsoles Glad to have you back on track with us :)


“Come on. Let's run away."
"Where to?"
Rincewind sighed. He'd tried to make his basic philosophy clear time and again, and
people never got the message.
"Don't you worry about to," he said. "In my experience that always takes care of itself.
The important word is AWAY!”

Well it is typical Rincewind thinking, cant go wrong with this one, the one with never turning around when you run was also good.
I finished, it was good, short and funny with some great lines. For me second best Rincewind book. It is really short so you cant not like it, there is no time for this to get boring. In whole series this is No 5 or 6 for me for now, ranked somewhere around the middle.

Oh, this quote doesn't sound as good in Spanish (my Discworld books are all in Spanish =/ )
I have just finished too and I totally agree with Sinisa, too short not to like it; funny and entertaining.
I have enjoyed it ^^






Here one method to post pictures, has worked great for me. Only on computer, not on mobile:
1. Go to your profile, click on "more photos" under your profile picture.
2. Click "add more photos" (upper right)
3. Browse and upload the image you want from your computer
4. Now in your list of uploaded photos, select the one you want, then right-click on the large version and choose "inspect". A side panel will open with some code. The part you need is already highlighted.
5. Copy the highlighted portion, and paste it into your message. This will insert the photo! Like this:

(This is an irrelevant photo for this book topic. I was going to take a picture of one the Eric illustrations to demonstrate, but my daughter took my phone away to show her friend a picture on it...)

Everyone reads at their own pace during a Buddy Read. Because participants can be at different parts of the book at different times, it is extremely important to mark spoilers so that the book is not ruined for someone who is not as far along as others!!!
Mark spoilers by placing {spoiler} before the text and {/spoiler} after the text but use the < and > instead of the { and }.
Happy Buddy Reading!
