It was, but I thought it was interesting. It was a creepily specific look into the minds of some really messed up characters.

I've never read any of the Diskworld series by Terry Prattchet, so I'm thinking of picking up a book or two for all of my flights in May

I did actually! After some research a friend lent me The Colour of Magic. I was a bit put off by a lot of the pun humor, overall it was good but it just didn't catch me.
Recently I just finished Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson, thanks to adverts on Critical Role and recommendations from Sarge. Really enjoyed it, bought the other two books in the trilogy and will get started on them soon.

I'm on book 3 of 4 at the moment. First book is called Leviathan Wakes, if anyone's interested.
Lars, I have read the foundation series as well. I found it really interesting how different the worlds were between the books. In the first one, there were basically only male characters, but since the next book was written quite a while later (if I remember correctly) there were actually women in key roles, doing stuff alongside the men. Its nice to know that our world is moving in the right direction, even though sometimes it feels like its not.
For Monster: I've read the ASOIAF books and watched the shows. They were good, but in my onion there are way better fantasy books out there. If you are brave enough, look up "The Malazan Book of the Fallen" series. It's a huge undertaking, but totally worth it. Hands down my favourite books of all time. Right now i'm trying to get through all the books on my to-read list, so I can go back and re-read those. There are 10 books in that series, each about 1000 pages. And Stephen Erikson, the author, wrote them in 10 years. He must be a genius of some kind. Reading these books started changing my dreams very noticeably. At around book 5 or 6, my dreams became like movies. They had soundtracks, well developed characters, an exciting plot, great action, emotional moments, everything! I loved it.
