Damn you Omar.
I love a good series and somehow Terry has done tons of books and kept the quality up. I gotta say man, for my money he's the most impressive author out there right now. When it comes to sheer quality and volume of it nobody has him beat.
How many series really stay that good that long? Not even Conan maintained that level, not James Bond (many of the later 80's and early 90's books really fell off), don't get me started on Jordan. I could go on right?
I think right now the only other dudes approaching Terry levels are Terry Goodkind, GRRM (but that's debatable), Daniel Silva, Lee Child and John Lecarre.
I suppose he managed to have so many angles to the story.
But I finished what I am assuming is the last of the Sneaky Pie Brown Mysteries...I liked it well enough but it was not really as good as the first few (and it had a few discrepancies in the continuum from as recent as the previous book...)

John Gardner's run on James Bond is being reprinted! I'm beyond words with joy. http://www.thebookbond.com/2011/03/gardner-renewed-all-14-john-gardner.html

15th
Read James Patterson, and some other guy's Toys, not to bad, the other guy did more of the writing, it didn't read nearly as fast as Patterson...
Now I'm reading Pratchett's The Truth. The Truth shall make ye fret. True.

That is a great line. It reminds me of: The last thing I want to do is hurt you, but, it is on the list.

Man, I just finished "The Name of the Wind." Best straight fantasy (as opposed to Pratchett's comedic fantasy) I've read in ten years or more.
Seriously.
Wow.
