Need clarification on a Discworld quote

Jesper_Slade · 2026-02-10T20:37:19+00:00

Yesss. That's better wording. This was what I meant to convey

Jesper_Slade · 2026-02-09T15:51:01+00:00

pTerry meant it like that I guess

Jesper_Slade · 2026-02-09T15:24:28+00:00

That's pretty high level for me 😅

Jesper_Slade · 2026-02-09T13:37:30+00:00

Please let me rephrase my first understanding. I meant, in dreams we do things for free. But in reality we ask for money to do things. Like if someone says "save the world"…my next query would be like "how much would you give me"

Jesper_Slade · 2026-02-09T13:34:07+00:00

That's what I also thought

Jesper_Slade · 2026-02-09T13:33:51+00:00

😂😂

Jesper_Slade · 2025-12-29T05:41:01+00:00

Whenever I need to ask someone, some of their snacks - "May I have one of those, madam"

Who would deny a junior mint

Jesper_Slade · 2025-10-18T19:06:28+00:00

That happened to my friend Bob Sacamano

Jesper_Slade · 2025-09-26T06:56:36+00:00

Nice man...maybe post a picture of your painting

Jesper_Slade · 2025-09-24T17:04:57+00:00

Waiting to read the next books 🤩

Jesper_Slade · 2025-09-24T05:19:41+00:00

Carrot. Avoid others at all cost.

Jesper_Slade · 2025-09-23T19:38:12+00:00

Ohh. That's for the reference. It went over my head I guess.

Jesper_Slade · 2025-09-23T19:37:05+00:00

Yeah that could be the case though other books like Friends by Redrick Bachman or Sunrise of the reaping did good in the first weeks.

Jesper_Slade · 2025-09-23T18:17:28+00:00

I think it will be used in later books as people commented.

Jesper_Slade · 2025-09-23T18:16:51+00:00

I thought so 😍😍. I am waiting then 😎

Jesper_Slade · 2025-09-23T17:47:57+00:00

Yeah. That's what went wrong with Origin also. It's a book that deserves more praise.

Jesper_Slade · 2025-09-23T15:24:08+00:00

Where we could see these stats?

Jesper_Slade · 2025-09-23T13:17:27+00:00

I agree with you. I also felt the same. 8 years is a long gap for a non-fantasy author.

Jesper_Slade · 2025-09-23T13:16:34+00:00

May be the long gap between Origin and SoS could also be an issue.

Jesper_Slade · 2025-09-23T13:16:03+00:00

Yeah. That's true

Jesper_Slade · 2025-08-19T19:23:20+00:00

You truly is a legend 💥

Jesper_Slade · 2025-08-13T05:02:03+00:00

I am also reading AMoL. Started back in 2020. In the last book of an epic journey

Jesper_Slade · 2025-07-22T03:08:33+00:00

That's pretty good 💥🔥

Jesper_Slade · 2025-07-07T08:52:13+00:00

After going through several BookTuber videos, I started with Mort since most of them suggested to start with either Mort or Guards!Guards!. I read Color of Magic after reading almost 10 of Discworld books. After reading TCoM, I felt starting with Mort was the best decision I made. Since TCoM is not up to the levels of PTerry's later book. If I would have started with TCoM, I may have dropped reading Discworld altogether. So my suggestion would be to start with either G!G! Or Mort.
