You want some adult books that arent full of negative crap go read some Terry Pratchett. All my life these are some of the only ones that make me laugh out loud consistently while still having a great plot, characters, and just overall excellent writing in so many ways.

Just don't read the biography. I just finished it, and while it's amazing it will leave you devastated.

GNU Terry Pratchett

GNU PTerry. Just got both biographical books for fathers day. I entirely expect to be crushed, given how big a part of growing up his books were to me, and how devastated I was to watch his decline and eventual passing...

I've hardly been able to read his books since, which is awful.

My husband got both of those books and I hope to read them. A part of me feels that, if I read them, it will make everything more definite (if you know what I mean). Heck, I haven't even read the Shepard's Crown.

I'm with you, 100%. I haven't read Shepherd's Crown either, same reason.

Same, if I don't read it there is always a new Discworld out.
