TheSpineView Got to say how much I enjoyed this one. His is genius with this satirical view of Hollywood. And Gaspode The Wonder Dog!!!!! 😂😂😂 1mo

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. 1mo

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! 4w

kwmg40 @BookmarkTavern Yes, Nutt was such a terrific character! 4w

kwmg40 @julesG Oh, autocorrect does stuff like this to me all the time. So annoying. 4w

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. 4w

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. 4w

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. 4w

BookmarkTavern @kwmg40 Is it really? That‘s hilarious! 😂😂😂 4w

TheSpineView Loved the art work!! 💙🎨 2mo

willaful @TheSpineView So creative. I love the three of them in their astronaut outfits, with “Wizzard“ on Rincewind's helmet. 😂 And them as chess pieces for the gods...

TheSpineView @willaful IK! 2mo

julesG @TheSpineView @willaful 🤣🤣 I really like just leaving through the book on some days. 2mo

TheSpineView @julesG Yes! If the book had no pics. It was still great and had all the things I love about Pratchett's stories. However, the pics just sent it over the top. 2mo

willaful This format was hard to read, but worth it. I really loved Leonard of Quirm and all the silly astronaut stuff. And what a fine not-ending for Cohen and his gang. 2mo

BarbaraJean @TheSpineView @willaful Of all the Rincewind books so far, I think I liked this one the best--and a large part of that is the amazing artwork!! I liked how things ended up with the Silver Horde, too. Overall, the balance between the astronauts and the UU gang and the Silver Horde was really well done. And it was such good pacing! The scenes were parceled out in a way that kept me reading & left me wanting more from each storyline. 2mo

julesG @BarbaraJean it's my favourite Rincewind book, too. Still, I'm looking forward to Death and the Witches. 😁 2mo

kwmg40 I loved the artwork in this volume, especially the picture of the three astronauts and the one of the gods. 2mo

BarbaraJean I‘m behind with my reading, so I‘ll jump into the discussion once I finish—in a couple days! 3mo

julesG @BarbaraJean No worries! 🤣🤣 3mo

willaful It's interesting to see the progression of the wizards from Sourcery, in which they were generally evil and the stakes were really high, to this one, where they're a lovable bunch of fuddy-duddies. (IIRC, Lord Vetenari also progressed somewhat in that manner.) I still think the Rincewind books are kind of thin, but this one was certainly very funny. 3mo
