I've just got a pile that I put newly bought books onto. If it's an especially interesting book, it goes right next to my bed, to be read after the current one.

Personally, I consider a book fully read when I've read all of it. But I've also abandoned a few books partway through and I still consider those read but enough to realise that I don't like it.

Whenever I read Discworld, I always picture Vetinari as Roger Delgado.

Personally, I only read biographies about or by people I'm interested in. For instance, I've read Who on Earth is Tom Baker? and A Life With Footnotes(about Terry Pratchett), both of which were interesting.

Forbidden Planet is good for sci-fi and fantasy books. I'm mainly there for Doctor Who of which there is plenty.

One infamous one in Doctor Who is Campaign. It was a book that was commissioned by BBC Books on the basis of a synopsis however Jim Mortimore veered wildly off the synopsis which resulted in the book being cancelled. The download that I've linked even includes a section at the end that explains how the book was written and why it wasn't accepted. Just bear in mind that it was written by Mortimore so we can't say that his view of events is what happened.

It's a very weird book, the basic concept was the First Doctor, Ian, Barbara and Susan meet Alexander the Great but are scattered throughout time and have to find each other. Given the reason for cancellation, the book as written is not that.

The way I fell in love with reading must have been back in primary school, I stuck to the same few books until I discovered Doctor Who and realised that Doctor Who books existed. That is almost certainly why I'm such a bibliophile today and most of my collection remains Doctor Who books. Basically, I found a genre/series that I was interested in and that allowed me to branch out into all kinds of books. I'm still mainly fantasy and sci-fi but I did recently read 1984.

Sounds like I need to check out Pathfinder. I've been reading Doctor Who and Faction Paradox which do have their fair share of complicated plotlines and time manipulation. Other pieces of media, that squeezed my brain include Legion(TV) and Control(Game), albeit in different ways.

>Racism was not a problem on the Discworld, because -- what with trolls and dwarfs and so on -- speciesism was more interesting. Black and white lived in perfect harmony and ganged up on green.

There's always at least one quote from Discworld for every situation.

I've learnt so many terms or rather figured out what they meant by taking the context. But if there was a term that I genuinely couldn't understand, I would look it up. Noosphere was one of them.

I don't really do that as it can result in people like Gareth Roberts. On the other hand it can result in people like Terry Pratchett.

Would The Doctor be cheating? If it were, Samuel Vimes.
