julesG I'm going to confess up front, I have not finished reading the book. 6y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @julesG I should be finished very shortly! 😉 6y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Finished! I liked it, it was a quick fun distraction...not the Pratchett wit I‘ve come to expect necessarily, but definitely fun for a cat owner. 6y

julesG @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I struggle with Pratchett's non-Discworld books. But as a cat owner I will finish it. 6y

Karkar I totally skipped this one. 😮 6y

Gezemice This was a fun short book. I have enjoyed where he comes from when he writes of Greebo... and of course, Death, who likes cats. I was also informed by a British friend who said that “Campaign for Real Cats” was a take on “Campaign for Real Beer”, which was a thing in the 80ies in Britain. Pratchett is always a follower of pop culture. @Riveted_Reader_Melissa (edited) 6y

gossamerchild @Gezemice thank you for explaining that! I figured it was a parody of something, but was too lazy to look it up 🤣🤣. I enjoyed this. Some of the things he said really b struck my funny bone, and some things were very meh. It's always interesting to read works of his with which I'm not familiar. 6y

julesG @gossamerchild @Gezemice Learn something new each day. 😉 6y

julesG @Karkar Which is completely okay. (really, even if auto-fill-in said it's "completely unacceptable") ? 6y

Gezemice @julesG haha, I have turned off my autocorrect a long time ago. It is better to type gibberish than something that I never intended! 6y

julesG @Gezemice Autocorrect is drunk 24/7. Especially when I try to type British English and it corrects to American English spelling although my settings are for UK English. 😵 6y

Gezemice @julesG You converse with Americans too often. 😉 You are being assimilated. Resistence is futile!! (edited) 6y

julesG @Gezemice I fear you are right. Even my team leader said I'm sounding more American. (I examined spoken English as a Second Language today and my TL had to monitor me for quality management. I hate being monitored. But I'm good. I was spot on with my timing and my marks.) 6y
