Just finished this nice book about the history of the Longitude Act and the troubles of the man (John Harrison) who finally found Longitude by building the world’s first precision timekeepers (‘clocks’).

Discworld – The Last Hero
Its the last one of the Rincewind series and its full of drawings and comes on nice glossy paper (which is sometimes hard to read off)! Another time for Rincewind to save the Discworld …
Discworld – The Last Continent

The new adventure starts at a continent called “XXXX”, which of course has nothing in common with Australia ;-)
Discworld – Interesting Times
Another good one from Mr. Terry Pratchett continuing the Rincewind series …
A whole new adventure of the “Wizzard” on the home continent of his old tourist friend Twoflower … anyway I am drifting away!
It gets a bit random at the end of the book but still it’s a nice story and of course also the beginning of a new one ;-)

It’s been a while since my last visit to one of these expensive places (roughly 15 Euro entrancefee). Still its always very much fun … at least until the point where my fingers couldn’t hold anything anymore, including me! I’m looking forward for more …
