The Carpet People | Terry Pratchett
post image
Pickpick

Imagine you‘re 17 again, sitting in your living room with a massive carpet underfoot. Your creative juices are flowing and you imagine miniscule people who live their entire lives in the carpet, with its deep forests and city walls built of dust. The “fray” is quite scary to the people and traversing the entirety of the carpet would take a lifetime. 17-yo Pratchett wrote a version of this somewhat mystifying book in serial form for his local ⬇️

Texreader newspaper. Years later he turned it into this book. There are lots of different “tribes” of wee people and lots of battles, and I got a bit lost and confused with the audiobook. The epilogue has his original serialization, and it should have gone at the beginning, which would have made the book more understandable. But I still give the book decent marks for immense creativity. I dream it could have been a book I wrote at that age. #authoramonth 2w

repost for @Soubhiville:

It‘s December, our final 2024 #AuthorAMonth! Time to pull out our Terry Pratchett books. What are you planning to read?

#AuthorAMonth is a no-pressure, no-commitment Litsy challenge. The goal is to celebrate the works of a particular author each month. Authors were chosen through polls by Litsy participants. Read as many as you like, skip months when needed, it's entirely up to you!

Charming. A mix of sci fi and fantasy short stories, Terry's imagination and humour shine through in each story, and the audiobook provided a sorely needed livening up of a morning of chores. ♥️

Paul Kidby's iconic #Discworld pictures. I enjoyed browsing through this book.

Dear #OokBOokClub-ers,

Here we go, my proposed schedule for our #Discworld re-read. I've included a few of the short stories and where to find them.

Repost for @julesG

Dear #OokBOokClub-ers,

I am proposing a #Discworld re-read based on the above reading guide. #SirTerryPratchett himself suggested starting with Sourcery, so that's what I'd suggest too.

I can draw up a reading schedule.

Your thoughts?

Let me know if you want to be tagged in future postings.
