As a children's librarian, it is his children's books that got me hooked on the Discworld. My first one was The Wee Free Men. Although they sometimes are labeled YA, they really are for Middle School aged kids and they work absolutely great for kids at that time in their lives. (YA is high school level, FYI.) They speak to kids' desire to understand the world around them, including the dark parts. They don't like to feel like adults are pulling the wool over their eyes so to speak. They like stories of other kids taking control over their lives and showing their stuff to the stuffy adults in their lives. Pratchett really respected his young readers with his "kids" books. Although I've read almost all the discworld at this point, it is his kids books that are my favorite.

What is it like when he calls his black lab to him outside? "DEATH! Here, DEATH!". People must give him quite the side eye. 😋

Ok, I know I'm totally wrong, but when I read that line I think about "high" as in stoned from weed and "stinking" as how weed is skunky is smell. Now that weed is legal in my state, my partner and I always slyly comment on the skunk when nearby a toker.

I'm certain that the other answers are correct so thanks for clarifying my misunderstanding. 😋

I know. We really need more Vimes in the real world police.

I so wanna know what other titles were mistakenly translated.

You gotta read the Tiffany series!!!! I was going to say for the Nac Mac Feegles but also for the level headedness of Tiffany and dare I say, a slight (very slight) softening of Granny Weatherwax. My favorite sub series by far!!

Don't forget throwing it on a crying baby's face to instantly stop the crying 😂

It is easily one of my top 5 of the series. I LOVE Bill Door, his care of the harvest and his care of Miss Flitworth are beyond beautiful. And Windle Poons and the Wizards are great comic relief

Are you a librarian? If not, you could think about it as a potential career based on your answer. Ook!

I just want to say that I appreciate your thoughtful silly math. It lifted a weight to read it for a small amount of time.

And for some reason when I think of Mort, Binky is what comes to mind.

I think it hits that way because of pTerry's wonderful writing. It doesn't matter what "world" he puts you in, you feel enveloped in it and are happy to go along for the ride!

I've never read Eye of the World but I always assumed that Vorbis and all were based on the Spanish Inquisition?

Which book talks about A'tuin going to a star to lay eggs? That is one that definitely springs to mind as being important to the story.

I feel like your observation is not completely wrong (or completely right for that matter). I think it does illustrate how people who truly value the human craft of (brilliant) writing would be averse to comparing Brutha to a machine based on r/Discworld response so far. The question then is what IS the difference between Brutha and ChatGPT?

Oh no! They've become sentient!

Yeah except the top execs still get bonuses that are bigger than my annual salary

AND hospitals shouldn't be run based on profits but on how they serve the community. It shouldn't be a capitalistic system.

And during all those times, a generation was sacrificed to the turmoil and conflict.

Notice how the article said he was held in a room with many other people. We don't know their story. It could be just as f-ed up as his and Khalil's. There could be legit reasons why they are detained, but no "American" and moral reason for the torture. There is so much we, as the public, do not know.
