  • Let's talk favorite characters. I won't be so cruel as to ask for your #1 favorite, but I do want to know your top five. 🐢 This always makes me want to pick entire groups instead of just one for each number spot on the list 😂 I know it's cheating, I just want to appreciate every single Discworld character! I will resist, though. 1. Granny Weatherwax 2. Samuel Vimes, Night Watch 3. Moist von Lipwig (yes I know it's the worst name. So does he.) 4. Tiffany Aching 5. Death 🐢 This leaves out so many incredible characters it actually hurts my soul. Nanny Ogg! Magrat! Adora Belle Dearheart. Mustrum Ridcully 😂 Rincewind. Carrot & Angua and Cheery and... it's too much. But I made a list and I will stick to it, at least until the next time I re-read Small Gods or Unseen Academicals. #grimdragon Happiness is all the rage. #bookstagram #booklover #bookworm #bookaholic #amreading #alwaysreading #booksaddition #bookdragon #ihoardbooks #booknerd #listsaboutbooks #itsathing #thediscworldseries #characters #ankhmorporkcitywatch #goingpostal #terrypratchett #sirterrypratchett #sirPterry #gnuterrypratchett
  • 'Okay, SE' you say by now. 'You've sold me on this Pratchett guy. But I looked him up and there are 41 books in the Discworld alone! Forty one! Are you nuts?' (Answer; very much so). 'Ain't no bookworm got time for that!' 📚 This is a valid complaint. Big series are intimidating! (See; how long it took me to start Immortals After Dark) But there is a way to get into the Discworld without a panic attack. I promise. 📚 If you're looking for a one-book toe tester, go by your area of interest. *For those wanting a good intro to iconic characters & locations -- MORT or THE WEE FREE MEN *For those wanting Pratchett's best paced plot & comedic timing --GOING POSTAL or HOGFATHER *For the lovers of good theatre -- MASKERADE or WYRD SISTERS *For lovers of theology & deep philosophical questions -- SMALL GODS or REAPER MAN *For lovers of police procedurals & mystery -- GUARDS! GUARDS! or FEET OF CLAY 📚 The series, as a whole, is gentle to new readers. Each book is a whole story. Yes, your enjoyment will be richer if you get the inside jokes and situations based on past books. But don't let that put you off of starting. Just check the synopsis, find one that interests you, and go for it. There is a fantastic breakdown of suggested reading order on the Discworld Emporium (@discworldemporium) website. If you'd like more options and description than I've given you here, I recommend it. Go forth, and find good Pratchett my friends. #grimdragon "Nostalgia is truly one of the great human weaknesses.

  • We're firmly in the Discworld portion of our Pratchett journey now my friends. Can I share my honest thoughts with you? Okay. Alright...Pratchett's first two Discworld books (The Colour of Magic & The Light Fantastic) are not my favorites. I'M SORRY. I just can't keep up with the whiplashing plot, it's like a Diana Wynne Jones novel on a major shrooms trip. I've read them and I do laugh at the funny bits, especially when Twoflower does pretty much anything (in-sewer-ants! 😂😂). But I've never had the urge to re-read them. 📚 This one (Interesting Times, pub 1994) comes from much later in his repertoire and it revisits his first two major characters, Rincewind the cowardly Wizzard and Twoflower the hapless tourist. I think his grasp on the plot has improved considerably by this book, and the world of the Disc is ever expanding. If you're a fan of The Colour of Magic, first please don't hate me forever, and second did you like this one? #bookstagram #bookish #bookaholic #readmore #bookworm #booklover #bookdragon #ihoardbooks #myprecious #readharder #thediscworldseries #unpopularopinions #rincewind #rincewindthewizzard #terrypratchett #sirterrypratchett #sirPterry #gnuterrypratchett
  • After his carpet Munrungs & tiny Nomes, Terry Pratchett moved on to his best known, most beloved series. *rays of celestial sunshine descend* *choir vocalization* *some tweety bluebirds* The Discworld. The gigantic flat disc of earth which rests on the backs of four planet sized elephants, who themselves stand on the great star turtle A'tuin as they swim through the universe to destinations unknown. 📚 If you're thinking, 'that sounds ridiculous?' YOU ARE RIGHT. And that is 80% of the fun of The Discworld. Pratchett created this whole, intricate universe with civilizations, races, magic, continents, countries, and rules of physics, basically so he could satirize the common tropes in fantasy. With a lot of love, but also some cutting social commentary. His humor while writing is just...unmatched. IMO. Words alone can't convey how amazing and complex his creation is. Let me just say if you closed my eyes and magically transported me into the Discworld, when I opened my eyes I would be able to tell you where I was, simply because of Sir Terry's beautifully lavish worldbuilding 😍 #bookstagram #bookish #bookaholic #bookworm #booklover #amreading #alwaysreading #booksaddition #thediscworldseries #equalrites #terrypratchett #sirterrypratchett #sirPterry #speakhisname #gnuterrypratchett #mansnotdeadwhilehisnameisspoken #discworldwitches #grannyweatherwax #myhero
  • The next logical place for Pratchett to go after The Carpet People was, obviously, a book about more tiny people. The Nomes trilogy has definite Borrowers vibes, but is still uniquely Pratchett. 📚 "To the thousands of tiny nomes who live under the floorboards of a large department store, there is no Outside. Things like Day and Night, Sun and Rain, are just daft old legends. Then a devastating piece of news shatters their existence; the Store-their whole world-is being demolished. And it's up to Masklin, one of the last nomes to come into the Store, to mastermind an unbelievable escape plan which will take all of the nomes into the dangers of the great Outside..." #bookstagram #booklover #bookworm #bookaholic #bibliophile #bookish #bookaddict #trilogy #epicfantasy #scififeels #terrypratchett #sirterrypratchett #sirPterry #theturtlemoves #speakhisname #thebromeliad #truckersdiggerswings #earlyterrypratchett
  • The Carpet People is Sir Terry's debut novel from the ancient days of 1971. This is the revised, expanded edition with Pratchett's own fantastically quirky illustrations. 📚 Most of Pratchett's overarching message, kind of a subtext in all of his works, can be boiled down to; "other people are not 'things' and there are better ways to solve your issues than killing everything you don't agree with." I agree this makes his intricate, multilayered, multiple-book-long plots sound too simplistic, but I'm sticking by my base theory. This theme is super obvious throughout The Carpet People (debut, remember). His unique humor is very much here, as well. You can see the seeds of what will be a flourishing career starting to grow in this book and I love it so much! Also, the idea of an entire civilization existing in the weave of a living room carpet is just the coolest. #bookstagram #booklover #bookworm #bookaholic #readmore #readallthebooks #terrypratchett #discworld #gnuterrypratchett #sirterrypratchett #theturtlemoves #fantasy #thecarpetpeople #authordebut #sirPterry
