Old Tom was the single cracked bronze bell in the University bell tower. The clapper dropped out shortly after it was cast, but the bell still tolled out some tremendously sonorous silences every hour.

30. Regimiento monstruoso (Terry Pratchett). El mundo era un lugar menos horrible cuando el hombre del sombrero todavía estaba entre nosotros. Que la relación sea causal puede estar abierto a discusión pero que desde 2015 vamos cuesta abajo y sin frenos es un hecho. Y esta es una de las obras de Pratchett donde su análisis certero de nuestras miserias se hace desde una óptica que lo tiñe de optimismo y bondad. Una reflexión sobre el fanatismo, la guerra, el machismo y el poder de la información y el control del relato. Pero también una historia sobre la capacidad de hacer lo correcto cuando todo y todos está en tu contra. Además, con una de las frases que más me han impactado de todo lo que llevo ya leído de Mundodisco que no es poco: "Es preferible la compañía de quien busca la verdad a la de aquel que cree haberla encontrado".

He moved in a way that suggested he was attempting the world speed record for the nonchalant walk.

It was true about the time measurement as well. The Tezumen had realized long ago that everything was steadily getting worse and, having a terrible little-mindedness, had developed a complex system to keep track of how much worse each succeeding day was.

- "America?" said Mrs Liberty. "Won't we get scalped?"
- "Good grief, no!" said William Stickers, who was a bit more up to date about the world.
- "*Probably* not," said Mr Fletcher, who had been watching the news lately and was even more up to date than William Stickers.

Cats don't hunt seals. They would if they knew what they were and where to find them. But they don't, so that's all right.

The one positive thing you could say about the bread products around him was that they were probably as edible now as they were on the day they were baked. *Forged* was a better term. Dwarf bread was made as a meal of last resort and also as a weapon and a currency. Dwarfs were not, as far as Vimes knew, religious in any way, but the way they thought about bread came close.

"I saw a film where there was an alien crawling around inside a spaceship's air ducts and it could come out wherever it liked," said Johnny reproachfully.
"Doubtless it had a map," said the Captain.

"I'm a cat person, myself," she said, vaguely. A low-level voice said:
"Yeah? Yeah? Wash in your own spit, do you?"

I have now finished my book and oh my heart… 🥹

There are definitely worse ways to spend your Sunday morning.

Suffice to say, it’s a wonderful book and you should all absolutely go buy it.

The whole thing is covered in notes from various characters- Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, Rob Anybody etc, as well as the occasional correction from Lettice Earwig.

This is one of my favourites, in the section on Underwear.

[Nanny Ogg] Bloomers can provide a very useful storage for buffet items. Just remember to remove them before… more intimate encounters. An avalanche of prawn vol-au-vents can really ruin a mood.
[Granny Weatherwax] Ruined mine just reading that.

Love this of Nanny Ogg and Granny Aching looks exactly how she does in my head.

I remember reading this one on afp and laughing out loud. I think that might mean I’m old.

Irgendwer muss irgendwann einmal Weihnachten sehr mit Hogfather in Verbindung gebracht haben.

#GNUTerryPratchett #Hogfather

For #TerryPratchettDay I want to share one of my favourite quotes. There are many, but this one just resonates with me as a writer. Sir Terry Pratchett's work is about how important stories are to humans and as a storyteller who grew up loving his books, unsurprisingly I feel the same way. He was the first celebrity where I was truly gutted when he died. Much love to everyone who was touched by his stories. 💖

Happy Hogswatch to all who celebrate!
