Join us as we begin a three part discussion of "A Clash of Kings," book two in the "Song of Ice & Fire" series by author George R.R. Martin. This is a great time to jump into the series, and spreading the discussion over three dates means you don't have to have read the entire book by March 7. If you like adventure, suspense, a whisper of magic and drama, you will thoroughly enjoy this tale set in a mythical medieval country. George R.R. Martin has a huge group of loyal fans, and it's easy to see why once you begin reading his books.

Nation, by Terry Prachett
Come join us at the Winterfell Library, at 12 Noon, Sunday the 14th December, 2008 to discuss this interesting new book!

From the author widely known for his Discworld series, Nation is something new and stands alone in it's own universe. A non-Discworld novel that Terry said he felt he had to write over the last few years. Such a departure from the expected continuation of the Discworld related "Tiffany Aching" series has already caused some serious deliberation and discussion about the book without even looking at its content.

Opinions seem very polarized, and I feel that those familiar with Pratchett's works will have a lot to say about how it differs from the usual. However the book, while written in a Pratchett style is something apart, and has a timeless depth to it. Those who have never read a Pratchett book before will really enjoy this one, and need no introduction to any of his other work beforehand, and be able to add some great insights into his writing from a fresh perspective.

The book starts out in the Pelagic Ocean Islands and follows the course of a young Islander boy, a young English lady of noble birth and their attempt to cope with the devastating effects of the tidal wave that brings them together. As the survivors come together on the island, a great many questions arise, and not just about where the next meal is coming from. Many of the people wonder why the gods allowed this to happen, and there is a real depth to the questions that Pratchett's characters ask in this book as they seek to rebuild a Nation.
