Lime Bar on Bookwyrm finished reading Eric by Terry Pratchett (Discworld, #9)
Discworld's only demonology hacker, Eric, is about to make life very difficult for the rest …
Not my favorite but good bits throughout, of course

@limebar isn't it better than the Colour of Magic though?
Lime Bar on Bookwyrm replied to jonn's status
@jonn it is better written, but the reason I'm loving Terry Pratchett is similar to the reason I love Neal Stephenson -- the density of raw ideas per page... and Eric was lesser there.
But, I mean, this book was still great! It just broke the streak for me of "each book is better than the previous"

@limebar oh! It's so cool that other people are using that metric too! ❤️
By the way, I find that something in the ballpark of five core ideas per, say, 300p book investigated from several sides is the sweet spot for me.
That's why I don't read philosophy, too dense!
