julesG This one hit different than when I first read it, even than when I last read it for #OokBOokClub, thanks to the current events. 2w

BookmarkTavern Yeah, this one hits differently. So one of my favorite things that sticks out to me was Adora Belle saying “It's not a lie. It's what ought to have been true.” It reminded me of the idea that we read nonfiction to learn facts, but we read fiction to learn truth. 2w

julesG @BookmarkTavern Adora Belle might not have the biggest roll in the book, but she has a lot of wisdom to share. 2w

BookmarkTavern @julesG She does! And after Sybil and Vimes, she and Moist are my favorite of Pratchett‘s romantic relationships. And it‘s because of how it‘s set up in this book. Adora Belle is a puzzle Moist can‘t figure out, a person he can‘t charm, and it evolves so beautifully into him caring what she thinks about him. That scene in the restaurant where he calms her down by teasing her about the proper knife? Chef‘s kiss. 2w

kwmg40 I enjoyed this one but I agree that current events made me wince at some of the situations in the book. 2w

julesG @kwmg40 I'm reading a Sci-Fi heist novel right now and the parallels to current events is astounding. As @BookmarkTavern said, we read fiction to learn the truth. 2w

willaful It definitely hits me harder now than when I first read it. Especially given that his solution to a Trump seems to be.. a somewhat better Trump. 😬

Still absolutely love the book and think it one of his very best. The main characters have a lot more to them than Rincewind has. 2w

julesG @willaful Yes, to the "a lot more to them than Rincewind". He's not one of my favourites. 2w

Going Postal (Discworld, #33) | Terry Pratchett

pick

A charming and likable conman resurrects a post office and takes on a ruthless oligarch. In this satire, the target of Pratchett's jabs is government.

A noteworthy quotation: “What kind of man would put a known criminal in charge of a major branch of government? Apart from, say, the average voter.“

Ruthiella I read this 2 years ago when that quotation was just a joke. ☹️ 2w

julesG That quote jumped out at me too 2w
