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. 1w
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. 6d
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.

julesG @willaful chased by who-knows-what and Luggage 6d
willaful @julesG I'm still unclear about what happened to the Luggage's domestic life... 6d
julesG @willaful They lived happily ever after? And CMOT Dibbler sold the little ones off to the highest bidders. Or is that slavery? 6d

TheSpineView Got to say how much I enjoyed this one. His is genius with this satirical view of Hollywood. And Gaspode The Wonder Dog!!!!! 😂😂😂 2mo
BookmarkTavern I‘m so glad to have revisited this one! I was so focused on getting irritated with the wizards last time, I didn‘t fully appreciate Nutt. That feeling of having to work for worth, I deeply empathized with that. And listening to Glenda say “you always have” made me tear up. I do wish we could have gotten another Nutt novel. 2mo

julesG I completely forgot to read this book. I've started yesterday. Will chime in properly later. But just wanted to say that I'm still in awe at Pratchett's way with words. When I first read his books the satire wasn't as obvious to my teenage self as it is today. 1mo
julesG @BookmarkTavern I agree with getting irritated with the wizard's. 1mo
julesG ? No, autocorrect, I wanted the word to be "wizards" plural. ??? 1mo
kwmg40 @TheSpineView Was this comment meant for the next book? I\'m reading it now and I too love Gaspode! 1mo
kwmg40 @BookmarkTavern Yes, Nutt was such a terrific character! 1mo
kwmg40 @julesG Oh, autocorrect does stuff like this to me all the time. So annoying. 1mo
kwmg40 I loved this installment of the Discworld series! First of all, it was nice to finally get in the Rincewind series, some really good female characters. I especially liked the interactions among the group of Glenda, Nutt, Juliet and Trevor. I also liked Pratchett\'s hilarious takes on football, academia and the Romeo and Juliet story. 1mo
kwmg40 At first, I thought that Pratchett was being ridiculous with the Megapode Hunt. Then I found out it\'s based on a real-life tradition: the Mallard Hunt at All Souls College in Oxford! My daughter did her Master\'s degree at Oxford and she confirms that totally inane traditions are quite common there. 1mo
BarbaraJean I loved this one. Nutt especially. @BookmarkTavern I was disappointed to search around and discover this is all we get of Nutt's story. I would have LOVED another Nutt book, or at least another appearance! @kwmg40 YES to finally getting some really good female characters. Glenda was fantastic. I feel like this is the first time in the Rincewind books where we get some actual character development--and it's all in that character group. 1mo
BookmarkTavern @kwmg40 Is it really? That‘s hilarious! 😂😂😂 1mo
