my beloved diskworld submitted by ferdoble on August 11, 2011, 3:53pm To describe Terry Pratchett’s books is a difficult thing to do. The disc world series is in a word fantastic. Terry Pratchett, would seem to use the disk world, to take any theme, or know story and then twist it in his own very humorous way. These are not always laugh out loud funny (sometimes they are), bur rather the sort of funny that just sort of lifts your spirits a little bit.

I will say that in some cases there isn’t always a really strong story, sometimes its just his characters moving through one of those twisted themes. I like them all, you may want to start with the Most Von Lipwig story line (“Going Postal” and then “making money”) as at least the first one has a really great story line.

I love to pepper my reading queue with these books to keep all those books that take themselves seriously fresh and interesting.

I recommend reading them ALL.

OR listening to them. The two main narrators of Terry Pratchett’s books are Stephen Briggs & Nigel Planer and they take Terry Pratchett’s phenomenal writing to a whole new level.

Continuing misadventures of Rincewind submitted by Jen Chapin-Smith on August 16, 2012, 4:59pm With the curse "may you live in interesting times" as the basis for its title, this novel begins with a game between two gods: Lady Luck and Fate. Like all the many, many gods of the Discworld, they live on a mountain at the very center of the flat, round world and watch and sometimes meddle in the lives of the mortals for amusement.
After his midadventures in "Eric," Rincewind, a loveable loser of a wizard, returns to Unseen University. University Archchancellor Ridcully has summoned Rincewind back with a spell and his enchanted Luggage follows him on foot as soon as it/he/she can. Ridcully sends Rincewind to the Counterweight Continent (which is in some ways like Earth's Australia but in other's like China) where he meets up with his friend Two Flower from the first Discworld novel. Read "Eric" and "The Colour of Magic" first to understand the previous plot lines so "Interesting Times" will make sense.
I highly recommend this and all other novels by Sir Terry Pratchett.
