Terry Pratchett's Hogfather
Terry Pratchett's Hogfather: The Illustrated Screenplay | Terry Pratchett
12 posts | 55 read | 1 reading | 7 to read
Hogswatchnight is fast approaching, and the Hogfather (that jolly fat man who delivers presents to the kiddies) is missing. But it's vital that all the presents are delivered, otherwise the sun won't rise tomorrow. However, there is another supernatural entity who can be everywhere at once and, most importantly, knows where everybody lives. And Death reckons that with a false beard and a few cushions, it might just work. And while Death is busy working out the mysteries of climbing down chimneys and drinking sherry, it's up to Susan to track down the real Hogfather. It's a dark time of the year. There are monsters afoot. And some of them look just like us. HO HO HO. You'd better watch out . . . Terry Pratchett's bestseller, adapted and directed by Vadim Jean, is a two-part live-action/CGI film for Sky One starring David Jason and a host of other great British character actors.

The tagged, though I have only seen the movie. Also skipping christmas by John Grisham, and the gift of the Maji by O. Henry. Also the book of joy by Desmond Tutu and the Dalai Lama. Not technically Christmas but definitely worth a listen. I recommend the Libby audiobook.

dabbe THANK YOU! I'm making a list, and checking it twice. Thank you for sharing and making the end of this week nice. 🩵❄️🩵 1mo

Life has been absolutely insane and while my consumption of audio books hasn't diminished, I've fallen off my record keeping. I'll try to catch up.

I've been revisiting the Discworld between holds on Overdrive. Yay! People are using their online library. Dammit! Everything has a hold now.

This is my 3rd time through Hogfather and the 1st time this quote jumped out at me. I had a real life LOL and had to pause the story to make a quote graphic.

So... If I want to start reading Terry Pratchett: is there a good book to start? Or a series? Is there a specific order to read?

The #boogieman on Terry Pratchett's discworld is called bogeyman. They scare people and hide under beds or behind doors. A way to subdue a bogeyman is to put a blanket on his head. The theory goes that everyone knows bogeymen disappear if you put the blankets over your head, and so by putting a blanket over a bogeyman's head his belief in his own existance is impaired.

Light, funny books like those written by Terry Pratchett and Christopher Moore are my #palatecleanser. #feistyfeb

I would love to know how one "moves in a very jolly fashion". Could become useful.

I love love love LOVE reading screenplays. Whether it's a film I've seen or not, doesn't matter. There's something about reading the script before watching it, though. Anyway. Strange Christmas-movie screenplay, here I come. 🎄

An elderly lady walked by me when I was checking this one out of the library today. She glanced at the cover, then at me, before she hurried away with a somewhat disturbed look on her face. It's not /that/ bad, is it? I think he's adorable.

DGRachel I would have to hide it with a different cover in order to be able to read it. 🙈🙈 8y
Dragon He's kinda of creepy 💀 8y
okthislooksbad @DGRachel Yeah, I was told not to leave it around the house because it was too spooky. 😂 8y
