La luce fantastica

Some timid, rare Sci-Fi buds spring in the, unofficially second half, of the tour de force introduction into the settings of the Discworld, including multi dimensions, human sacrifice, possession, lynch mobs, and the apocalypse. I do tend to ask myself how it would have been if Pratchett would have d Leggi tutto

Reading Sir Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series makes me smile. Because of his writing I invented the "Smile-O-meter" which measures smiles per book. Pratchett always scores high. Three years after Terry Pratchett published The Color of Magic , the first Discworld book, he published the second, The Lig Leggi tutto

Buddy read with my lovely friend, Choko 😘 Omg! We had so much fun with this book!! I loved it so much!! Me and Choko plan on reading them all and I’m just thrilled! These characters crack me up and I love them!! Mel 🖤🐶🐺🐾

Review to follow tomorrow, but tell me why have I waited so long to re-read the Discworld books. 😢😳 And the honest answer is, well for a while I didn't have a copy of any Discworld novel, due to the fact that (as I think I've mentioned before (oh no am I getting so old I'm repeating myself ?) ) I los Leggi tutto

“The sun rose slowly as if it wasn’t sure it was worth all the effort.” If you follow my reviews, you already know that I’m a sucker for English humor. I adore the sarcasm, wit, innuendo, and self-depreciation that the English apply with such skill. And the very English Sir Terry Pratchett is inventi Leggi tutto

19/25 (76%) 4 stars. Is it weird that DEATH is now one of my favourite characters? My entry into Pratchett's Discworld novels was rather disappointing: The Colour of Magic was too lackluster for me, too crazy, too all over the place. The second volume makes it much better and shines with a clear plot Leggi tutto

Re-read with buddies! I'm still very much enjoying these early Pratchett books, especially in mind that I'll be seeing a *lot* more of these folks in the near future. And even if I'll mainly be focused on folks I haven't seen yet, anyway, I'm still enjoying what may as well be an overview primer of t Leggi tutto

I adore Terry Pratchett. I don't know how to elaborate on that so I'll just share some of my favorite moments in Light Fantastic. Snarky social commentary: She is there, down below the mines and sea ooze and fake fossil bones put there by a Creator with nothing better to do than upset archaeologist

Put two of my favourite Discworld characters,the Luggage and Death, into the same book and I am obviously going to be happy! This was a reread of this book which I read the first time many years ago. Pratchett obviously improved his writing as the series progressed and his books became more sophisti Leggi tutto

Death made a great appearance in this story. Small, but spot on. This is absurdism at its best. I enjoy The Color of Magic, but it was a slow read. It didn't hook me completely into the series, but I did know that I wanted more of this. I thought this story was fantastic. I know it's only the 2nd one Leggi tutto
