Making Money | Terry Pratchett

#two4tuesday

1. When I‘m in the U.S., rarely. But I do when I‘m abroad.

2. Pratchett explores wealth and socioeconomic disparities in Discworld. The Lavish family in "Making Money" represents "old money," demonstrating how entrenched power and control can stifle innovation and lead to abuses

julesG "Transworld acquired world rights to Thief of Time, with artwork by prize-winning illustrator Rachael Stott, and Monstrous Regiment, whose artist is still to be revealed, from Jon Wood at RCW, on behalf of the Terry Pratchett Estate. These acquisitions will form the first graphic novels in the "Discworld Graphic Novel Universe"." 6d

Small Gods: Discworld Novel, A | Terry Pratchett

pick

A remarkable novel that does not need any connection to the Discworld series to make it so. It seems clear that Pratchett set out to have a clear-eyed discussion about religion, with a minor detour into classical philosophy, and on those points alone it's an incredible book. 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? I'm glad it's been long enough since my original read for me to forget the ending because it got to me probably as much as it did the first time.
I can only approach this book from my own perspective as an atheistic reader, but it might have other things to offer those with a spiritual tradition.
Unsurprisingly, this book works because of some Pratchett gold standards: excellent character work 1w

Robotswithpersonality 3/? (the evolutions of Om and Brutha are marvelous), deadly serious yet often wryly worded tackling of darker subject matter, which doesn't mean there can't be puns and disgruntled penguin goddess avatars, and a few moments spared to remember the importance of libraries, and just how stupid war is. 1w

Robotswithpersonality 4/4 I could go into more detail about how well Pratchett lays out the arguments around organized religion, the nature and value of faith, but I don't think there's a substitute for reading the book, even if there may be moments where you wish things would go faster (hint: that's probably when you should slow down and think about it more).
Don't take my word for it, go read it!

I thoroughly enjoyed this one — steam trains, dwarves, terrorism, all handled deftly by Moist von Lipwig. Great characters, including the train Iron Girder.

BarbaraJean I actually finished this one on time! To refer back to my earlier comments on Terry's use of chapters: I was sad he reverted back to no chapters here! But I did really enjoy it, chapters or not. I loved seeing Moist discover new sides to himself, and the interplay with Adora was fantastic, even if there wasn't a whole lot of it. I also liked Dick Simnel and the way Harry and Moist kind of mentor him. And the reveal about Vetinari at the end! 2w

julesG @BarbaraJean Still wondering where I read about the chapters and what. My mind is a sponge when it comes to soaking up information, but a bank vault when I try to get the information out. I know that chapters were discussed pre writing the Tiffany Aching books. Guess I'll remember it when I least expect it and don't have anything with me to take notes. 😁 2w

BarbaraJean @julesG Haha--yeah, these days my recall of where I read something or how I know something is a bit diminished. 😆 2w

kwmg40 I really enjoyed this one, partly because I love travelling on trains and find the history of train travel interesting, and partly because of the subplot involving the dwarves, which provided a few surprises! 2w
