How do you like it? I read the first couple chapters a while ago and dropped it when I got busy because I wasn't sure if it was worth finishing. I love Discworld and Johnny Maxwell so I was hopeful but it didn't grip me from the start like I'd come to expect. I want to finish it though :s

Well it returns to Pratchett's common theme of speculating a lot about the nature of religion, and why people make/feel they need religions, and what to do when that's challenged. And I think that gets a bit repetitious at times, and feel he does it best and most succinctly in Nation.

Truckers does start a bit slow. I actually like the the stuff with the Store best, because I like the culture and mythos the Store nomes have built about the things they've been living around for generations. For me, Diggers is the weakest link, but it's all a pretty fun arc.

Ohh I see. Yeah I definitely think he went on about that a bit much and it's actually one of my less favourite themes from him (Small Gods was great though, but I agree with a friend of mine who said it was 'Pterry "getting religion" in his own way'), so I guess I won't rush myself on it. I never got past the first couple pages of Nation either, so much so that I forget it's a Pterry book at all.
