julesG @BookWrym maybe combine the physical copy and the audiobook. It's what I do. 😉 2d

BookWrym Library don‘t have the ebook for this one 😢 1d

julesG @BookWrym That's a shame. 1d

julesG Okay, I'll start. 🤣🤣 Sourcery isn't my favourite Discworld adventure. Rincewind isn't my favourite hero. But, I love how he's bumbling about and accidentally saving the world. 3d

TheAromaofBooks This was my first Discworld book, and while I liked it, I didn't love it. So I was glad to see a lot of reviews saying this wasn't one of the best 😂 I did appreciate the humor and unique characters, so I'm excited to read more. 3d

julesG @TheAromaofBooks Glad you liked it. 3d

Deblovestoread I‘m the same as Sarah. My first Pratchett and it was ok. I am looking forward to the next one to get more familiar with Discworld. 3d

willaful I'm not a huge Rincewind fan (nor is my mom, a huge Pratchett fangirl. ;-) ) so I suggest the newcomers try again, perhaps when we get to the Witches or the Watch books. Or Death, Death is great. Lol.

I read this last month by mistake and don't remember my thoughts much, except there seemed to be maybe some inspiration for “Good Omens.“ Anyone else agree?

Good Omens

3d

julesG @willaful I agree. There are some things that appear in Good Omens. But not only from this book, there are elements from other Discworld novels (especially the ones set in AM) that made it into GO in some way. 3d

BookWrym The Death books are my favourite. Does anyone else here want their own real live luggage? 3d

TheSpineView Not quit finished reading but close enough for discussions. I agree with everyone that this is not my favorite book. However, I thought as I was reading that it reminded me of the movie Pink Panther. Thinking specifically about Inspector Clouseau. There are some similarities between the two. Sorcery was first published in 1988 according to GoodReads. Which is after the first movie with Peter Seller's. I wonder if he drew inspiration from it?? 3d

kwmg40 I'm still working on my reread of this book but thought I'd jump into the discussion anyhow. Rincewind isn't a favourite, but I love all appearances of The Luggage. The Librarian is also a great character. 3d

julesG @BookWrym I'd love to have my own Luggage. 2d

julesG @TheSpineView Now that you mention it 🤔 I see the connection. 2d

julesG @kwmg40 Ook! 2d

BarbaraJean This is my first foray into Discworld outside of Tiffany Aching and Mort, and I agree--not my favorite. It was fun and it made me laugh, but Rincewind felt lackluster. It took me until the upside-down magic carpet and the half-brick-in-a-sock before I was really on board with Rincewind. 😂 @TheSpineView The comparison to Pink Panther actually endears Rincewind to me a bit more! Maybe he just needs an outrageous French accent. 😆 2d

TheSpineView @BarbaraJean Too funny!! 🤣🤣🤣 2d

Really enjoyed my reread. The audio is fantastic. The jingle for the footnotes worked really well, the story held up and I am looking forward to the discussion next month.

What # are we using for this read? Is there an easy way to tag everyone?

Sourcery: A Discworld Novel | Terence David John Pratchett

Just a friendly reminder that we are setting off on the second round around the #Discworld today with #Sourcery.

Looking forward to our discussion next month!

PS: this book might work for some of the #52bookclub24 bonus prompts for April - I'm definitely using it for "desert you"

julesG Would have tagged you all earlier, but Litsy wasn't willing. 1mo

BookmarkTavern Yay! I‘m so excited! (edited) 1mo

TheSpineView @julesG That happens some times. 1mo

Deblovestoread Sometimes it doesn‘t want to play nice. I‘m very excited as a first time reader of these books. 💜🧙💜 1mo

BookWrym I have hit the audiobook already and the narration is great. Read by Colin Morgan, Bill Nighy & Peter Serafinowicz. The footnotes have their own little jingle and I am loving it. Having previously read the paperbacks I am finding audio a delightful way to revisit. Plans for this read along will be whatever format I can my hands on. 1mo

julesG @BookWrym Same here. I previously listened to the Nigel Planer narration, but have the new one queued up for this round. 1mo

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! This will be my first time reading a Pratchett book. I'm so interested to try out his writing!! 1mo

julesG @Deblovestoread @TheAromaofBooks I hope you like it. 1mo

willaful D'oh! I thought the discussion was this month and just finished it. I hope I remember something to discuss. 😂 1mo

julesG @willaful I'm sure you will. 😂 1mo

rretzler @willaful I finished it on the date we were to have started! I had totally forgotten what quick and easy reads these were. 1mo

rretzler @BookWrym Also loving that footnote jingle! I wish ALL audiobooks had that! 1mo

Chrissyreadit I‘ve not read any Discworld books- should i read The Color of Magic first? 1mo

julesG @Chrissyreadit No. Pratchett himself said to start with Sourcery and read the first two novels later when you know your way around the Discworld a bit. 1mo

Chrissyreadit ok- ordering now. 1mo

BarbaraJean Somehow I missed this post, but I'm seeing the tag pop up on Litsy and so I investigated. 😁 Would you add me to the tag list? Thank you! 2w

julesG @BarbaraJean sure! Welcome to the #OokBOokClub. 1w

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.

julesG @TheSpineView that's absolutely fine. It's an option not an obligation. 😁 2mo

julesG @kwmg40 Great!!! 2mo

TheSpineView @julesG 😎😎😎 2mo

BookmarkTavern Yes! I love this idea! 💖💖💖 2mo

rretzler Absolutely, I‘m trying to read them all for the first time, so a reread of some and an initial read for others is just what I need to keep me motivated and on track! Thanks for organizing! 2mo

peanutnine Could you tag me for this? I've always wanted to read Discworld but never know where to even begin. A readalong with y'all sounds perfect 2mo

julesG @rretzler @peanutnine Yeah! Glad to have you join us. 2mo

BookWrym Been meaning to get back to discworld for a while please tag me 😀 2mo

willaful Keep me tagged please! 2mo

julesG @BookWrym Glad to have you. 2mo

BarbaraJean I‘m definitely interested! I‘ve only read Mort and the Tiffany Aching books, so I‘d love to join a buddy read and work through Discworld more comprehensively. 2mo

julesG @BarbaraJean 🎉🎉 2mo

julesG @LitsyEvents - would you repost this please? 2mo

Marmie7 I would definitely be in for a few of them. I followed the last read-along but wasn't able to read them all. 2mo
