julesG This one hit different than when I first read it, even than when I last read it for #OokBOokClub, thanks to the current events. 2w
BookmarkTavern Yeah, this one hits differently. So one of my favorite things that sticks out to me was Adora Belle saying “It's not a lie. It's what ought to have been true.” It reminded me of the idea that we read nonfiction to learn facts, but we read fiction to learn truth. 2w

julesG @BookmarkTavern Adora Belle might not have the biggest roll in the book, but she has a lot of wisdom to share. 2w
BookmarkTavern @julesG She does! And after Sybil and Vimes, she and Moist are my favorite of Pratchett‘s romantic relationships. And it‘s because of how it‘s set up in this book. Adora Belle is a puzzle Moist can‘t figure out, a person he can‘t charm, and it evolves so beautifully into him caring what she thinks about him. That scene in the restaurant where he calms her down by teasing her about the proper knife? Chef‘s kiss. 2w
kwmg40 I enjoyed this one but I agree that current events made me wince at some of the situations in the book. 2w
julesG @kwmg40 I'm reading a Sci-Fi heist novel right now and the parallels to current events is astounding. As @BookmarkTavern said, we read fiction to learn the truth. 1w
willaful It definitely hits me harder now than when I first read it. Especially given that his solution to a Trump seems to be.. a somewhat better Trump. 😬

Still absolutely love the book and think it one of his very best. The main characters have a lot more to them than Rincewind has.

julesG @willaful Yes, to the "a lot more to them than Rincewind". He's not one of my favourites. 1w

Night Watch | Terry Pratchett

Soubhiville One of my favorites! I don‘t really like this cover for it though. It‘s much too tame for a TP novel. 4w

julesG @Soubhiville it's a Penguin Modern Classics 4w
julesG Sorry, hit the wrong button. Wanted to add, the cover must look a bit stuffy for a modern classic. 😉 4w

kwmg40 After working through the Rincewind books, many of which were heavily dominated by male characters, it was refreshing to see a more diverse and interesting cast. I especially liked Igorina and Jackrum. I also liked how Pratchett poked fun at the conventions of warfare and at the propaganda that tends to surround wars. 1mo
BookmarkTavern I think Maladict and Polly were my favorites. I‘ve always related to Polly a lot, being the caretaker so long it becomes habit. And I found myself paying a lot more attention to the politics and religious fanaticism of Borogovia. It feels a lot more relevant right now. 😅 1mo

julesG @BookmarkTavern it does feel very relevant right now. 1mo
julesG Polly is my favourite, but Maladict and Igor sure are second. And Jackrum, of course. 1mo
BookmarkTavern @julesG I really didn‘t like Jackrum the first time through. I thought they were abrasive and a bully. But, on reread, knowing what we know about the character, I appreciated them a lot more. (edited) 1mo
