by Terry Pratchett
Grade: Unfinished
Read: To page 68.
I really wanted to finish this one. I loved the title and the poem it was based on. Plus, it's the new Terry Pratchett, and he might not live for much longer. But for some reason, I can never get into his Tiffany Aching books. Maybe they're too serious--yet I love the serious bits that come up in his other Discworld novels. So I don't know. I guess I'll try again some other time, when I have more time. Perhaps it was mostly the studying for exams that made me unable to concentrate on this book.
"RED is the most joyful and dreadful thing in the physical universe; it is the fiercest note, it is the highest light, it is the place where the walls of this world of ours wear thinnest and something beyond burns through. It glows in the blood which sustains and in the fire which destroys us, in the roses of our romance and in the awful cup of our religion. It stands for all passionate happiness, as in faith or in first love." -G. K. Chesterton
