It's Gransnet World Book Day....

Plaese can I come as Granny Weatherwax from the Discworld books by Terry Pratchett? She's another one who is an ideal feminist role model.

Well you can, but no one else will have a clue who you are.

Violet Elizabeth Bott from the Just William books, then I could scweam and scweam until I was sick. Or Scarlett O'Hara. Maybe I have a secret yearning to be a spoilt brat which I have never been!

You should broaden your reading, jingl. They read "Equal Rites" on Woman's Hour years ago (it was still in the afternoon) and that got me started. I cannot believe that I am the only GNer who reads Terry Pratchett.

I think I'd rather be Nanny Ogg when. She is very irreverent, plus she has a cat, Greebo, and all those sons and daughters.

when, we got Wyrd Sisters by accident, from a book club. That started me off. My favourite book is Interesting Times. I love the "wizzard" Rincewind, and "the luggage".

Oh yes, hilda, Nanny Ogg is a good choice - I love the way she can always find a son to do the heavy lifting and a daughter to do the housework. (Where have I gone wrong?). the luggage would be very handy, but a bit frightening, don't you think? You wouldn't want to look at it the wrong way. I like Interesting Times too, but think my favourite is Pyramids (even though it doesn't have witches).

My youngest cat is called Greebo ( he's also known as Mummy's Baby in a Granny Ogg sort of way) Granny Weatherwax is a tempting idea, but I have a horrible feeling that I'm more of a Magrat (If her mind was any more open it would be a field)
I think my favourite books are Mort and Soul Music but they are all a joy.

And I like all the books with the Witches in and I loved the ones with Tiffany Aching the witch. I have read them all many times. Don't like dressing up very much and as for being Scarlett how are you going to get that tiny waist?

I have a sudden urge to be Mary Poppins. I think it's because of the accessories.

Doesn't have to be a GrownUp Book then?

I'll be the Worst Witch.

Some days I'm a dead ringer for Eeyore.

Polgara (from the David Eddings fantasy books) as she was beautiful, wise and feisty.

Sitting here in my black leather thong and whip. Now what was the name of that book ???

The book was called 'How to Stop a Thread in One Easy Post' pompa!

Aka '50 Shades of Grandads - A Guide to Hair Dye For Men over 50'

I would like to be Pooh as I got stuck rather like he did down Rabbit's hole last week.and the costume's easy. I would prefer Nanny Ogg but she' s taken.

You'll catch a cold pompa
The way I feel today I'd be Eeyore........!

I love Nanny Ogg, but still think I would prefer to be the teller of the Arabian nights. Except I think I would have to wear some kind of warming cloth around my tummy. And those slippers would need to be made by Hotter. I would have to wear leggings under my diaphanous trousers too. And maybe a nice cashmere stole... Those jewelled bra tops are probably a bit draughty.

Ok, Nanny Ogg it is.

1AM granny Ogg

Ok, I shall be your assistant then.

I never did manage to read all the books, although DBH&Son have every single one, but I did really love the ones with Nanny Ogg in.

Paola from the Brunetti books by Donna Leon. How can a woman combine so successfully academic career, brains, fantastic judgement and have no hangups about cooking a 3course lunch twice a day for her DH and DC?

Half way through the very last Discworld book, Raising Steam, what will I read next. Been reading Discworld books for so long now.

I hate the very thought of Terry Pratchett books. I think they are men's book.

I would be Babette, from Babette's Feast. A bit obscure perhaps - has anyone else read it or seen the film?
