I'm thinking of picking up a couple of books - to wit:

1. The Terry Pratchett Diary; and

2. The Quotable Terry Pratchett.

So I have a couple of questions:

1. How is "The Quotable Terry Pratchett" different to The Wit & Wisdom of Discworld (which I have)? To my mind, "The Quotable" doesn't seem all that different. Am I wrong? It's also much smaller than "Wit & Wisdom". :-(

2. What is "The Terry Pratchett Diary" like? Just wondering. :)

Cheers!

The Seriously Quotable is only 100 quotes which is miniscule in comparison to the wit and wisdom.. as for the Terry Pratchett Diary, we own one, we reviewed it, but it's not something we would use anyway.

Wit and Wisdom was excerpts from the books while the SFEQ was one liner quotes from the books.

Rath ,you can look inside the covers on the Amazon site, it will give you an Idea of what there and if you want to really buy them.

Thanks, Dug. Now that I've looked inside, I think maybe I should save my money and wait for the Imaginarium. :)

The Diary, quite frankly, looks like a higher-production volume than the "Endlessly Funny" etc... which looks like a bit of a cash-grab, to be honest. :-( I have a copy of "The Wit and Wisdom", which is very good in comparison.

Guys are you familiar with these books?
The Untethered Soul
The Gifts of Imperfection
How to Love Yourself (And Sometimes Other People):
Man’s Search for Meaning
The Four Agreements
For me the man's search for meaning is the best it says.
You may appreciate the wisdom shared by most spiritual authors, life coaches, therapists, and even your friends, but when a holocaust survivor shares such knowledge, it is bound to give you goosebumps. That’s what you are likely to experience when reading this book.
Check this out for novel and classic books of all time.

I haven't heard of any of those books. Self-help books are not really interesting to me, to be honest.
