Blink of the Screen

Blink of the Screen by Terry Pratchett, 286 pages

This is a collection of short works spanning the Pratchett's entire writing career ranging from old school assignments, through his first writing jobs, to his Discworld series and the present day. The stories themselves range from gnomes living in stores, chickens crossing the road, death, virtual reality, and a couple of pieces from Discworld.
 Anyone who likes Terry Pratchett's work should read this book, especially since he puts some his early works that aren't as easy to find.  I was actually impressed by some of the stories that he wrote when he was still in school, if nothing else just by some of the ideas for them.
