Book club planning!

Is everyone who is reading The Iron Heel okay with Sunday, April 2 (this coming Sunday) for discussion? Please let me know!

Also, I ha e read and very much appreciate all the feedback I asked for a couple weeks ago! RL has been very distracting and a bit stressful lately, and I didn't reply to all of it, but I'm taking it all into consideration. I think next month we may try a few new things wrt polling, voting and discussions - not necessarily to change them permanently but see how they work out.

I won't be able to join the discussion this month. I haven't managed to start the book yet and it looks like it's not going to happen before the end of the week either. :(

About next month. That Night Watch book is #29 in a series. Can it really be read as a stand-alone, if you have never read anything by this author?

The person who recced it specifically said that it could. I have not read it or the series myself though.

Yes, it can. We've already had this argument, nonny, you bitched about it in the rec thread and now you are bitching about it again because you lost. I get that people like to read series in sequence and think that is the only way to read them, but Discworld is a lot like Iain M Banks Culture sequence. You can read without knowing the backstory and if you do then you'll see that sometimes individual books actually contradict the continuity of previous novels.

They're playing the "all nonnies are the same" game while being anon themselves.

It definitely can be read stand-alone. It features characters from other books - and it definitely does get richer if you appreciate their history, especially the main character - but literally nothing in the plot depends on knowledge from previous books.

Also, it's not really number 29 in a series - it's the 29th Discworld book, but there's a bunch of different Discworld sub-series. It's the 6th book in the City Watch series. The earlier ones are Guards Guards, Men At Arms, Feet Of Clay, Jingo, and The Fifth Elephant (with Feet of Clay and Fifth Elephant probably being the most relevant to Night Watch). But like I say, none of them are absolutely necessary for Night Watch.
