To clear the bad taste out of my brain, for book #50 I chose one I knew I’d like: Truckers<\/i> by Terry Pratchett.<\/p>\n

It’s a problem solving book. The Nomes have a problem: their home sucks. So they get on a lorry and see where they end up next, which turns out to be a place full of more nomes. These nomes live in a giant department store and don’t believe in the outside and it’s rather idyllic.<\/p>\n

Except it’s going to be demolished.<\/p>\n

There’s also a small box from space telling them what to do, and the joy of this book is the solutions the nomes come up to for their problems, in-between their arguing (nomes love to argue). <\/p>\n

Masklin, the main character, suffers a bit from the sort of ‘good, but just kinda there’ lead problem that Pratchett’s books sometimes have, but I liked him a lot anyway. But my favourite part of the book was that unlike A Spell for Chameleon<\/i>, women were suddenly people again. <\/p>\n

And just for that, this book makes me so happy. I blew right through it, I was enjoying myself so much. It’s part of a series, the Bromeliad Trilogy, and the next book is Diggers<\/i>, followed by Wingers<\/i>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
