“Über besorgte Bürger wusste er Bescheid. Wo auch immer sie sich aufhielten: Sie sprachen immer die gleiche private Sprache, in der »traditionelle Werte« und ähnliche Ausdrücke auf »jemanden lynchen« hinausliefen.”

“You see,” he said, “cheese does make money. And opera doesn’t. Opera’s what you spend money on.” “But . . . what do you get out of it?” “You get opera. You put money in, you see, and opera comes out,” said Salzella wearily.”

"You can be any sex you like as long as you act male. There's no men and women in the watch, just a bunch of lads. You'll soon learn the language, basically it's how much beer supped last night, his strong the curry was afterwards, and where you were sick. Just think 'ego-testical'" - Angua, Feet of Clay, Terry #Pratchett

Irish Discworld Convention memberships went on sale this evening. It’s a weekend long event in Cork, Ireland, from 17th-20th October 2025.
Hanging out with fellow Pratchett fans is like meeting friends you didn’t know you had. Can’t recommend it enough. This will be my 9th attending. Raise a toast to the man himself, hear talks, play games, be yourself. A truly welcoming space. www.idwcon.org

I loved Reaper Man. The distinctive style of #Pratchett is as strong as ever, and with three intertwined narrative threads, that means three times as many colorful characters, ridiculous puns and over-the-top situations.
On top of that, I feel like Reaper Man addresses some deeper existential topics compared to the previous books and, with the three narrations, we get three different points of view of the same topic, which makes up a reading experience that is both incredibly funny and thought-provoking enough to be noteworthy.
#FantasyLeserPrompts am 24.04.:
Wo liegst Du auf der #Fantasy-#Nerd-Skala von "Wer ist #Pratchett?" bis "Ich kann ohne Wörtbuch von Elbisch nach Klingonisch übersetzen"? Was ist das nerdischste, das Du je gemacht hast?
Ich habe mich in meinem Nerdismus immer darauf beschränkt, auf viele Veranstaltungen zu gehen oder sie auszurichten. Für übertriebenes Detailwissen ist mein Kopf zu siebig, fürchte ich. Aber ich habe mich fachlich mit einigen Werken befasst (z. B. religionswissenschaftlich).
This seems like a great use of the buckets of cash some people are accumulating these days.

Lovely people in the north of #england or #scotland who enjoy crime, fantasy and humour with a hint of #pratchett...or just having a good laugh, Caimh (C.K. McDonnell) puts on an amazing event on his book tours. He's a former standup comedian and he knows how to entertain.
It also helps that the books are freakin' amazing!

#OTD in 1983, the first novel of Terry #Pratchett|'s #Discworld series, "The Colour of Magic", was published.
Last year I found this plastic Halloween skeletal rattie but then we moved house and the project had to pause.
I’ve finally got round to make my little Death of Rats a cowl.
Now he just needs a scythe and an hourglass. And better blue glowy eyes somehow. #Discworld #Pratchett
"There’s no greys, only white that’s got grubby. I’m surprised you don’t know that. And sin, young man, is when you treat people as things. Including yourself. That’s what sin is."
"It’s a lot more complicated than that -"
"No. It ain’t. When people say things are a lot more complicated than that, they means they’re getting worried that they won’t like the truth. People as things, that’s where it starts."
Terry Pratchett, Carpe Jugulum
