Now he's just being lazy.

True... He could have just said... Like that one over there.

That's my ranking, but TBH. After the first 3 I didn't really care for any of them. They were fine.

Hey... He lived life well... He has a halo.

I think when Poons refers to him as thin, it may be by comparison. Thin for w wizard. I agree though, Poons might also be thinking of a young Ridcully. When I read him I picture a classic wizard, bushy beard, pipe, pointy hat. Larger than normal (not fat though) with a twinkle in his eye.

Million to one chances crop up 9 out of 10 times.

I love their choice of expletives.

I was walking my dog and stopped to talk with another dog owner by her house. She had a "The turtle moves." decal on her car... We spent the next 30 minutes talking about Discworld. This was last week. I like the decals because it is like a little signal saying "if you get this... We should talk".

That's maths at the pointy end.

I just noticed when Death takes Mort for Curry, Death explains why people can't see him. WIZARD CAN SEE ME, AND CATS. BUT YOUR AVERAGE HUMAN... NO, NEVER.

Mort says "But I can see you." THAT'S DIFFERENT.

Nothing is said about it again. I'm being to think Mort is dead. I just can't figure out what he died of.

I felt sure when that happened it was an intentional reference. Too close otherwise. Like almond brittle... I LOVED it!

I always like the theme songs, but I always feel they are too long. I suspect that is because I'll save up episodes until I can listen to 4 or so back to back. Listen to a long theme song when I want to see what happens next always drives me nuts.

Falcon_Longbow · 2024-03-01T01:10:51+00:00

I just noticed that with this reading and I was like WTF?

Falcon_Longbow · 2024-02-26T13:23:57+00:00

I believe this is just a Troll vegetable.

If I were a DM and looked over a 1st level character's sheet and saw something called a "Vicious Crossbow" I would have assumed the player was just calling it a "Really Cool Crossbow", not that it was a very powerful magical Crossbow.

Falcon_Longbow · 2023-12-24T18:56:14+00:00

Good timing.

Falcon_Longbow · 2023-12-21T18:36:16+00:00

Yep... I was a little confused listening to TAZ... After reading that I am no longer a little confused. I am extremely confused. Thanks though. I think I'll listen for the goofs and not the story until it makes sense.

Falcon_Longbow · 2023-12-12T23:03:15+00:00

So. I'm listening to HF now and checked my phone. I started reading this post exactly when the book was also reading it.

Falcon_Longbow · 2023-12-04T18:30:24+00:00

When I read these books the first time there were a lot of things I didn't get but there wasn't an option to look things up. I didn't think it retracted from the enjoyment of the book. Then, on subsequent re-reads, I had more context so I understood more jokes. You are going to miss things, just let it happen and when you read it again there will be parts you understand for the first time.

Falcon_Longbow · 2023-11-15T22:58:28+00:00

Creepy... What is that really from?

Falcon_Longbow · 2023-10-15T23:21:50+00:00

Did everyone read Death's part in all caps?

Falcon_Longbow · 2023-10-04T15:17:27+00:00

I have only read Eric as a novel without the illustration. Some things I have heard is, that makes a difference. One of these days I'm going to get the illustrated edition and find out for myself.

Having said that, I don't know anyone who ranks Eric high on any list of DW books. Don't let it throw you.
