James started reading Monkey by Wu, Cheng'en
Have tried to start reading this before but lost interest. Time to give it another go.
James rated The Last Continent: 2 stars
The Last Continent by Terry Pratchett (Discworld, #22)
James finished reading The Last Continent by Terry Pratchett (Discworld, #22)
Content warning General description of characters, no plot points
Not a bad book, but pretty drawn out, kind of wish it was a shorter novel. I'm not sure if the invention of a county that has every cliché about Australia is intentionally bad, or if it's a lack of real understanding. The way Rincewind treats the 'female impersonators' is nice, but the language used by the author seems to but him more on the side of the rest of the characters, who see them as other and poor imitations.

Content warning Small plot point mention
A Discworld book that is filled with outdated prejudices and assumptions about asian cultures. The over arching plot is a development of all the previous Rincewind books. The most interesting element to me was the rebel group that is actually a tool of one part of the establishment to bring down another part of the establishment.

James finished reading Sourcery by Terry Pratchett (Discworld, #5)

Certainly the best Discworld book Ive read so far. The heavy handed theme of not needing to be who ypu are 'supposed' to be seems to elevate the book beyond 'funny magic happens in a funny world'.

As a person who doesn't read fantasy novels I feel I'm missing out of some of the parody and irony. The book is at the awkward age where the portrayal of women is slightly better and misogyny is acknowlwdged as bad, but there is still some unacceptable things.

Picked this up intending to read the Discworld series for the first time. Lots of people have told me its one of the less good ones. I thought it was fine, the world is beyond outlandish and the rules of the universe are hard to follow. I can certainly see how reading some meta analysis might make it more fun.

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is a high fantasy novel for children by C. …
Enjoyed this more than the prevoous books in the series. Although many of the Pevensies are whingy and too much 'from the past' to be relatable, Reepycheep is great.
