my beloved diskworld submitted by ferdoble on August 11, 2011, 3:52pm 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.

Witches in Lancer submitted by Jen Chapin-Smith on August 17, 2012, 11:04am "Wyrd Sisters" is Sir Terry Pratchett's second Discworld novel to focus on the witches of Lancer, following "Equal Rites." We re-meet Granny Weatherwax and her coven-mates Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick. This book, vaguely based on "Hamlet," follows the story of a murdered king and the witches' attempt to set their small kingdom to rights, save a baby and find a good new ruler.
I appreciate having a positive portrayal of witches and strong female characters who are nonetheless human enough to be loveable and believeable.
I highly recommend this and all 38 other Discworld novels.
BBC created an animated movie and a radio show based on the novel. I can also highly recommend the movie.
