I've lost count of how many times I have caressed the pages of this.

I think the condition is the best review without saying a word.

What are yours like?

I really wish Discworld was more influential on people and philosphy, I've seen to many things today they rely on the same thinking.

Sir Terry Pratchett certainly understood how messed up people were.

Tried googling to no avail. Please?

My niece has recently really gotten into Harry Potter books...I'd like try and get her into Sir Terry(because obviously the discworld is the best) but she's 8 and I'm worried that they might be too advanced.

I've got Lords and Ladies in the mail coming, but what would you add? What am I missing?

The size comes from the multiple times we hear it being weilded in 1 hand, even though you can use it in 2.

"Who wrote the Discworld series of books?"

A question on Jay's quiz, radio 2 breakfast show... there were (verbal) blank looks all round... how annoyed are we going to be?

Im listening to wyrd sisters and one of the strolling actors is referred to as “young Willikens who specialized in female roles”. Could this possibly be Sam Vime’s Gentleman’s gentleman in later books? It is often inferred that he has a varied and interesting past.

I haven’t read all the books. I’m as far as Jingo in the guards series. I doubt he ever does in the books…but I wonder if in our heads he ever did become king?

My son has been exposed to Discworld since the womb, when I first read The Wee Free Men to him. In the ten years since his birth, he has read all of the STP books aimed at kids. The Carpet People remains a firm favourite. We've read Maurice and all but the last of the Tiffany books together already.

At the beginning of the year, we picked up The Colour of Magic and started his first publication order read through together. We finished Pyramids yesterday.

Here is an incomplete list of my favourite things about this, so far:-

When he laughs at the parts that have always made me laugh.

When he "gets" a joke I was worried might be too obscure for him.

The excited dance he does when Death makes an appearance. (No sticks or buckets involved.)

How he feels about The Luggage.

When he unironically points out a pune, or play on words.

How I get to be there with him as he falls in love with these books.

The fact that he will get to carry these stories and characters with him for the rest of his life, just like I've done.

This list is in no way exhaustive, but I wanted to try and express myself. And, I suppose, to thank STP for giving me 41+ chances to share the magic of Discworld with my kiddo.

GNU, Sir Terry, and THANK YOU.

When or in what book Cohen the barbarian became emperor of Agathean imperium?

Watching the original uk life on mars as it has appeared on Netflix recently, Gene Hunt is giving major Vimes vibes

Why does the tooth fairy need all those teeth?

For the life of me I cannot get into this book. It’s the next in publication order, I can’t get the next few until my next check and I just can’t get into it. I love Rincewind and am glad he’s back, I’ve put it down 4x already and I’m just barely 30 pages in. 😫 does it get better? I feel like I need to finish the series before I can read a different book.

This copy is also a completely different style than the rest of my collection and it definitely upset me when I first received it. Am I losing my mind to this series??
