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.

BookmarkTavern Yes! I love this idea! 💖💖💖 4d
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! 4d

Making Money | Terry Pratchett

This is definitely one of those cases in the Discworld series where reading at least one other book in publishing order helps. The first half is a lot more fun when you've read Going Postal, and can view it as the continued adventures of Moist von Lipwig, who I would never characterize as 'up to his usual tricks' because he's far too unpredictable, as are the things that happen to him and those around him. 1/2

Robotswithpersonality 2/2 The third quarter sets up the last quarter and the last quarter is fantastic in every sense of the word.
Chock-full of absurd characters and perennially relevant social commentary. Of course, now I want to reread Raising Steam to complete the reread trilogy. And as usually happens, with the later books for Vimes or Lipwig, I get a little sad that Terry never had the chance to dive into further adventures with this character. 😔

Equal Rites | Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett wrote strong and independent women before it was cool 😁 I prefer the English title to the German one, since it shows more what the book is about. Still an ongoing topic, even though the book was published in 1987. Pratchett is timeless.

Ruthiella I also just read this (and loved it) And yes, the pun in the English title is perfect! 🤩 I was happy to meet Granny Weatherwax since I know she turns up in later books. 1w

Classic Pratchett: a paragraph of casually related bold-faced social critique ending with a brain-scratching-ly good turn of phrase. 👌🏻🤌🏻
