Can I just read Pratchett without fucking anyone? I'm ace and it's just really smelly and uncomfortable.

You can, but you're missing out. Getting to the climax of Guards! Guards! is really something else.

Absolutely but I do recommend whispering to yourself "get fucked JK rowling" before reading a book as it is good luck. You can substitute "eat shit" or whatever else feels right to you and it should still work fine.

Bit unfair, because when compared to Terry Pratchett, just about everything else gets tossed to read more Pratchett. 😅

(not that I disagree, Pratchett is best)

I just wish there was more media of the Discworld other than the books, a handful of movies and some games of the 90's. It is such a big universe that has so much room for stories.

I'm sure the studios will get around to it and then we'll get a million sequels. Maybe the estate owning the rights is not keen on authorizing works.

Imagine if JK Rowling had even a 1/1000th the artistry and intuitive empathy Pratchett had for the world, there would be millions upon millions of people out there with a life long love of a series who didn’t feel betrayed and forced to make a choice between being part of a community that textually hates them or continuing to love their childhood nostalgia.

Careful, Nanny will make you do chores.

Does Nanny NOT make you do the chores?? She told me everyone else was very studious about doing them and that only I was slacking off.

Wait a minute….

She had me convinced SHE was the one being fooled this whole time, she even told me so
