Going Postal
4 journalers for this copy...
The post was an old thing, of course, but it was so old that it had magically become new again.
The post office is an ailing institution belonging to the olden days. New technology overshadows its mind-numbing bureaucracy and the creakingly slow pace of change.

And sometimes it's worth standing up for what you believe in...

Journal Entry 2 by AidanTheGeek at Camden Court Hotel in Dublin, Co. Dublin Ireland on Friday, April 13, 2012
Released 12 yrs ago (4/13/2012 UTC) at Camden Court Hotel in Dublin, Co. Dublin Ireland
WILD RELEASE NOTES:
Released at the Bookcrossing Anniversary Convention Dublin, 2012.
I liked this book much better on the second read than the first one. Maybe I should give the sequel another chance, too.
Picked up at the Meet-up at the Hemperium.
I saw the German film version of this T. Pratchett one and had to observe once more that really a lot of jokes and wordplays can hardly be translated when reading it in English.
