Carpe Jugulum | Terry Pratchett

“And sin . . . is when you treat people like things.”

“When people say things are a lot more complicated than that, they means they‘re getting worried that they won‘t like the truth.”

Terry Pratchett 💜💜💜

BethM I‘ve never seen this quote. It‘s spot on. 2d
BethM I‘ve never read Pratchett is this something that can be read without starting at the beginning ? 2d
julesG @BethM Yes and Yes. The quote is very apt and I was thinking of it earlier (my version is just "grey" instead of "gray" ?). You can read the Discworld books in any order, except for the Tiffany Aching sub-series, but Carpe Jugulum is not part of that subseries 2d
julesG @BethM You could join the #OokBOokClub, we're reading Going Postal this month 2d
wanderinglynn @BethM there is no one way to read Discworld. There are different paths. It‘s almost like a choose your own adventure depending on what you want. Here‘s a quiz to see which book the Discworld Emporium librarian recommends: https://www.discworldemporium.com/reading-order/ or here‘s a graphic of the entire series that shows the different paths: https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Discworld_Reading_Order_Guide_3.0_(cro... 2d

I enjoyed reading this one with the #OokBOokClub. Pratchett pokes fun at gender stereotypes, the military, government propaganda and much more. I loved the diverse cast of characters. @julesG

kwmg40 @PuddleJumper Sorry, I had to resubmit my form for #gottacatchemall. I didn't realize the first time around that I'd actually caught Lycanroc Midnight! 1w
TheSpineView Awesome! 1w
julesG Love the cover of this edition. Also, it didn't occur to me to use Discworld for the crossover prompts of the #52bookclub25. Thanks for planting the idea. 1w
PuddleJumper @kwmg40 No worries! Thanks for letting me know 1w
Andrew65 This looks good. Well done 👏👏👏 6d

This is one of my favorites, if not my most favorite, in the Discworld series. Pratchett hit the nail on the head again. His take on government is spot on. As usual, there are laughs throughout the story. 4.5 ⭐

Cut your hair. Put on trousers. Pack your bag. And don't forget to pack an extra pair of socks.

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. 1w
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. 😅 1w

julesG @BookmarkTavern it does feel very relevant right now. 1w
julesG Polly is my favourite, but Maladict and Igor sure are second. And Jackrum, of course. 1w
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) 1w
