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. 5d

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. 4d

julesG @BookmarkTavern Adora Belle might not have the biggest roll in the book, but she has a lot of wisdom to share. 4d

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. 3d

kwmg40 I enjoyed this one but I agree that current events made me wince at some of the situations in the book. 3d

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. 3d

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. 1d

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

khooliha This book is great! Moist is such a fun character, and I think the book does a great job of staying with him (it'd be easy for these events to spin out into a Watch book, after all). It's just fun to take a guy whose whole bit is Normal Man (For Conning Purposes) and just mire him in some of the strangest stuff the books have done in awhile. Magic isn't so wild anymore, but people and their products still can be. 3y

khooliha Also, after how it's described in this book, I'm surprised that we never see a god of the clacks. 3y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I‘m still catching up with the #PractettPosse #OokBOokClub, for some reason I starting falling behind when I hit a bunch that were re-reads for me, but yet enjoyed them just as much as the first time I read them 🤷‍♀️ (problems only avid readers understand I suspect🤔🙃). Even on re-read though, I have to say these later books with Moist (same with Tiffany Aching) really hold up and I‘d recommend them still even to someone new to the Disc. 3y

julesG @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Totally understand that re-reading thing. I had a similar problem with some of the books. 3y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa This was the first Discworld book I ever read, back in the day… I can‘t wait to revisit it now that I‘ve read all of the preceding books and see how it holds up. 4y

Gezemice @Riveted_Reader_Melissa It was one of my early ones… Moist von Lipwig. Best name ever. (edited) 3y

Still on Pratchett, but it‘s nice to savor his humor. Especially in the current heat wave we‘re having. #goingpostal #helpimmelting

Life feels a little off center at the moment. Coffee and Sir Terry Pratchett should make it right with an entire fantasy book on conmen and bureaucratic nonsense. #goingpostal
