Raising Steam | Terry Pratchett
Pickpick

Hard to pick a favorite among the Discworld novels, I would put Raising Steam in my top 5..

“Why is it all Mr. Dibbler's films are set against the background of a world gone mad?“ said the dwarf.

Sol's eyes narrowed “Because Mr. Dibbler,“ he growled, “is a very observant man.“

Ruthiella Love Pratchett. ❤️ 1w
willaful @Ruthiella He's always so right on the money. 7d

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. 🩵❄️🩵 2w

BookmarkTavern This was such a fun read! I really loved the satire of Hollywood and making movies, how Dibbler kept going grander and grander with his plans. Also, the troll romance was unexpectedly delightful. And I can‘t believe it took me until the last hour or so for the book that I got the uncle Oswald reference was the Oscar statues. 😅😅😅 (edited) 2w
julesG @BookmarkTavern 😁 It took me some time to get the uncle Oswald reference, too. 2w

julesG Did I mention that the new recording of the audiobook is narrated by Jason Isaacs? If not, mea culpa. 2w
BarbaraJean I loved all the little references--especially Blown Away 😂 It was a lot of fun deciphering those references, and I'm sure I missed a lot of them. I also really liked the deeper themes about dreams, and Victor's comments on being the biggest version of yourself. I'd have liked more of that, but felt like it got eclipsed by all the clever references. @BookmarkTavern Yes! The troll romance! I think the trolls were my favorite characters in this one. 2w
willaful @BarbaraJean I also liked the troll romance, which reminded me of my marriage. 🤣 I really had to hit him with a brick!

I enjoyed all the jokes, but also feel the deeper themes weren't explored as much as I would've liked. It's interesting to see the beginnings of the Wizard changeover, and Ponder Stibbons.

julesG @willaful You married a troll? 😜 Reading Unseen Academicals and then jumping right into Moving Pictures I was actually confused for a moment that Ponder was a student. 1w
willaful Well, he is very tall. 😂

Yes, the chronology was a bit confusing. I wonder what Rincewind was up to while all this was happening. Probably running away, somewhere.

willaful @julesG I'm still unclear about what happened to the Luggage's domestic life... 1w
julesG @willaful They lived happily ever after? And CMOT Dibbler sold the little ones off to the highest bidders. Or is that slavery? 1w

How I‘m currently managing election anxiety… reading Terry Pratchett and listening to my husband and a friend play some jazz at our church (which is a voting center—it‘s a delight to hear them offering some music for voters in line!)
