"They avoided one another's faces, for fear of what they might see mirrored there. Each man thought: one of the others is bound to say something soon, some protest, and then I'll murmur agreement, not actually _say_ anything, I'm not stupid as that, but definitely murmur very firmly, so that the others will be in no doubt that I thoroughly disapprove, because at a time like this it behooves all decent men to nearly stand up and be almost heard...
No one said anything. The cowards, thought each man."
Latest find in my first attempt reading "House Of Leaves" is a proper #Pratchett style match cut in literary format.
The poll spoke and I listened: I now also ship to the UK and (even though it's really expensive) to Canada!
For the occasion, I looked for the most British photo possible and I couldn't find anything better than Tiffany Aching, one of my favorite Pratchett characters, in the rain. Yes, it's a cliché, and no, I'm not ashamed. :)

I was passed a signed first? edition of a #Pratchett book today because it's original owner had died, their daughter didn't want it but wanted someone who would be chuffed by it to have it and my wife had mentioned in passing that she had made a shelf for my full Discworld collection which apparently means I'm the kind of guy who should have it.
Which is nice all round if you ask me.
It is not physically possible for me to disagree more with the 'in what order to read the #Pratchett books?' piece in the Times from a few days ago. It's absolutely unhinged. And yes I am putting my own opinion up as the arbiter of correctness here. 😂 #bookstodon #fantasy #books
Feliz día del glorioso 25 de mayo de la República de la Calle de la Melaza!

... Unser Glaube daran!
Die Fortsetzung von "Ab die Post" beschäftigt sich mit dem Bankwesen und seinen Auswüchsen. Natürlich auf die übliche, amüsante Weise von Terry Pratchett. Nicht umwerfend komisch und nicht mit dem Reiz der durch einen neuen Protagonisten entstand aber trotzdem gut.
GNU Terry Pratchett. 10 years gone but never forgotten. Looking around this corner of the internet I see people starting their Discworld journeys for the first time. I see long time readers finding each other. I see friends who started as fellow fans. He changed so many lives. Thank you Terry. I'll raise a toast today on your birthday. A man is not dead while is name is still spoken, or until the ripples he left in the world fade.

📚 If a second hand bookshop has sci-fi and fantasy recommendations like this, as well as a Terry Pratchett timeline and categorisation, I’m going to be an instant fan. Just spent a lot of time browsing the very reasonably priced books in Arty Bees Books, Wellington, NZ.

... Das könnte zumindest die Einstellung des Protagonisten sein.
Ab Die Post ist amüsant. Richtig herzhaft gelacht habe ich aber erst im Finale der Geschichte. Was soll ich noch mehr sagen? Es ist halt ein Pratchett: bissig und mit einem guten Blick für die Unzulänglichkeiten der menschlichen Gesellschaft.
Themen in diesem Buch sind: - Philatelie - Golems - Trickbetrug - Internet + Hacking - Wirtschaftskriminalität
This week's Terry Pratchett quote:
“Satire is meant to ridicule power. If you are laughing at people who are hurting, it's not satire, it's bullying.”
― Terry Pratchett
