You'll be happy to know that I have just started reading the Night Watch series. So far I'm enjoying it, but I'm only fifty pages in.

I seem to be on a "stuff that dunkle_feuer likes" kick recently. First Miles, now this... I wonder if the fact that in between Miles and the Night Watch stuff I reread 20th Century Boys means that *you* should now read 20th Century Boys... ;-)

(ETA: Just in case, here's a link: http://www.onemanga.com/20th_Century_Boys/ - And for the epilogue: http://www.onemanga.com/21st_Century_Boys/)

Night Watch as in Discworld? I shall let you answer that first in case I embarrass myself by gushing about the wrong thing...

Err, no.

Night Watch as in Nochnoi Dozor, actually. Russian urban fantasy series. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Watch_(Russian_novel))

Discworld still somewhat scares me because it would mean buying hundreds (well, several dozens, anyway) of books. ;-)

If there were someone I knew who just happened to have the series available for borrowing, I'd read it, but as it is, I'd have to buy (and find space for) all of it myself... which is currently unfeasible for me, both financially and in terms of available space.

Just because it's so cool:

here's the trailer for the movie adaptation of the first half of the first book: http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi2191065369/

It's not a particularly faithful adapation - but it *is* a great trailer. *g*

It did occur to me after I posted that comment that that was what you meant. I have heard of them, but I suppose I just haven't heard anyone talk about them, and when I hear Night Watch, my brain just defaults to Discworld. Heh.

Most of my Discworld books are (mostly) second-hand, so I can get them cheap - although aside from the newer ones, it's harder to find the other ones. I haven't got all of them (yet! I live in hope!)

I understand about money and space, though. If you lived nearer, I would lend what I have to you, but alas :(

Re: the trailer - I remember seeing that on TV and thinking it looked cool, but somehow I never got around to watching it, and then it dropped off my radar altogether.
