Strata is indeed weak,especially due to the lack of Pratchettian humour...
(apart from the famous quote "Death was Nature's way of telling you to slow down." and a couple of other little things there is nothing worth of being kept in memory).
Anyway,it is pleasant to read.First of all because it is somehow the beginning to the discoworld,but also because it may be interesting to see how an author's way of writting has evolved.
All in all,it is an okey story,pleasant to read,but nothing special.
Some day,i'd like to read "the dark side of the sun"
As for what i' readiing now,i'm reading Pratchett's "small gods",but in quite slow pace,since i read it in spanish,which is not a language i'm an expert in......I'm really amazed......it is great,i enjoy every single line of it...
Yesterday i also started reading another book... in german this one
the original title is "se deg ikke tillbake" and it is by the norwegian author Karin Fossum...the book rules so far,it's a about a strange murder taking place in a little norwegian village....the plot so far is amazing.I've really gotten hooked on it,i;m already in page 80....I wish i had no projects and could lock myself in the house for the whole weekend and rrrrrrrrrread!!!!!! Karin Fossum rules
