Once More with Footnotes: Terry Pratchett | Terry Pratchett

pick

Well, it's Terry Pratchett - what's more to say? We get Discworld, we get a glimpse into private Terry, we get speeches and short stories from young Pratchett. Including the great illustrations by Josh Kirby. What's not to love?

(I did skip the texts about Neil Gaiman and JK, though)

Jari-chan @Amiable You're good! I'd translate it as the latter. Sounds better, I think. 1w

Amiable @Jari-chan I‘ve been taking a class once a week for the past couple of years at a local German school —I‘m way better at reading it than speaking it ! Still working on the conversational aspect. It‘s tough to learn a new language in your 50s. 😬😳😄 1w

Jari-chan @Amiable That's amazing! You're rocking that, I'm sure! 💪💪 1w

Feet of Clay | Terry Pratchett

The Watch is baffled by a pair of mysterious murders & the poisoning of the Patrician. It will take all of them working together along w/ a new hire to solve everything.

This is 1 of my favorites. The two separate mysteries are fascinating, I love all the characters (Angua my beloved), Dorfl & the golems & the power of choosing, & Vimes always satisfies my deeply buried vengeful side @ the end. I forgot how much that last scene hits me.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗

“Life has certainly been more reliable under Vetinari,“ said Mr. Potts of the Bakers Guild.

“He does have all the street-theater players and mime artists thrown into the scorpion pit,“ said Mr. Boggis of the Thieves' Guild.

“True. But let's not forget that he has his bad points, too.“

Ruthiella I love Pratchett! ❤️😂 2w

Faranae I love this scene even though I actually do like street theater and mimes (my French ancestry might be showing lol) 2w

willaful @Faranae Oh me too! So fun going to big cities and enjoying the buskers. 2w

kwmg40 I really enjoyed this one. I'd read this a few years ago, but appreciate it more after reading the preceding Watch books in order. I especially liked the developing relationship between Angua and Carrot, and Carrot's fascination with the Dwarf Bread Museum. 2w

julesG @kwmg40 I'd really like to visit the Dwarf Bread Museum 2w

BarbaraJean It was interesting to read this after having read the Moist books—it's one of the first times I felt like I was reading things out of order. But I kind of like having the later books already in my head as a glimpse at the future of the golems! I loved how Pratchett uses golems to consider who counts as a person, setting that against other prejudices. @kwmg40 I love their relationship & am glad there are more books in which it can develop further! 2w

willaful I thought at first this was a little too similar to previous Watch books, but by the end I loved it. So genuinely poignant, and with so much heart and grace. Pratchett at his most humane. 2w

BookmarkTavern @kwmg40 I also really loved seeing Carrot and Angua‘s relationship, especially getting to see it from Angua‘s point of view. 2w

It was Angua's mind that prowled the night, not a werewolf mind. She was almost entirely sure of that. A werewolf wouldn't stop at chickens, not by a long way.

She shuddered.

Who was she kidding? It was easy to be a vegetarian by day. It was preventing yourself becoming a humanitarian at night that took the real effort.

Have finished the main body of the Library Card Vest. Now I'm stuck with the ribbing, which takes ages.
