One day, the Store is to close definitively and the whole population needs to move. How? Lorries. How? Manual, ropes, wood, and manual labour and collaboration. Lead by the Outsiders, indeed. Not going to a new Store at all. The stars? With an aeroplane?

So far, very entertaining. Typically Pratchett: fun, play on words & slogans, wonderful imagination.

On to book 2: Diggers, starting with a small recap of book 1.

First book (Truckers) is out. A fun ride. A bunch of nomes from the Outside arriving at The Store, where thousands other nomes live, each on their own floor and department. Each department has a chief, its own rules, ... it's like various nations and each holding the belief that the Outside doesn't exist, that the Store is the one & only world. Fun, the play on words, the personification of the Store's name, ...

So far, a fun and smooth read, a real page-turner, but I'll have to read it in bits and pieces, as an other book is more prioritary.
