I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

I didn't read the Discworld books in order, and thought I'd read all of them at least once. Then I noticed I'd overlooked Sourcery! Whoo hooo, more Terry Prachett!

Barely on-topic, but I feel like to rant.
I was supposed to read 100 pages of The Oxford History of the British Empire. It took me some time to get to this book anyway... the search function in the catalogue does not detect it unless You omit "the".
Then it turned out someone's taken it. But I found it is also in some other library and spent much time searching for it. But I found it and started reading... I thought, hm, this has to do with the subject, and was checking if I'm reading the right tome, but it was OK.
But when the last chapter was about India, I thought it can't be right - the guy made a mistake, and wrote that I am supposed to read 2nd tome, while it was 3rd. Now I don't know if I'll manage to do it - but it's his fault, right?"I realise I hold the key to freedom,

Whoops. Back up a second. I wandered away from Card when, for several years, his stuff was just blah. Are you saying he's gotten good again? What is this [i]Iron Man[/] of which you speak? (I'm assuming he's not the Marvel character of Tony Stark.)Originally posted by Lonestar

You assume incorrectly.

From Wikipedia:
Orson, Orson, OrsonUltimate Iron Man is a comic book miniseries published in between 2005 and 2006 by Marvel Comics. The story was written by Orson Scott Card and drawn by Andy Kubert. The story tells the origins of the Ultimate Marvel version of Iron Man, who previously appeared in Ultimates.
He used to be such a brilliant science fiction writer.

IIRC, Orson rails in one of his how-to-be-a-science-fictioon-writer books against writing derivative works.
I have nothing against Marvel stuff -- in fact, it's marvelous
-- it's just not the stuff Card should be writing. Sounds like he's burnt out and out of ideas.
