  1. #Discworld #Readalong #GuardsGuards Third page and we’ve already got the first footnote. I hope the lore doesn’t swallow me whole.

  2. Gifted a copy of #GuardsGuards by Terry #Pratchett, which will be my first #Discworld read. I’ll be tooting my thoughts as I read it, if you’re interested.

  3. Is there some in-joke in the #discworld universe concerning "could of" and "should of" instead of "could have" and "should have"?

    It's wrecking my head! This spelling is only ever used in reported speech.

  7. Since I haven't been feeling well, maybe you will allow Doctor Pooh to encourage you to do the things I should have been. Either donations or ticket purchases. #movember #guardsguards #DoctorWho #terrypratchett

  9. OOOK!
    Which, for those of you not fluent in the slightly peculiar dialect of Orangutan prevalent in Ankh-Morpork and the surrounding parts of the Sto Plains, means the following:
    “Gather round, put your clams in your pockets, stop chattering for a moment and listen. There is another audition for Midland Players’ production of Guards! Guards! Saturday, 4pm at The Red Deer, Pitt Street Sheffield.”

  12. #GuardsGuards is still one of my favourite Pratchett novels and while it wasn't my first #Discworld novel, it was the one that caused me to fully buy into the Discworld.

    I adore Carrot and Vimes as characters have a great duality between them. Nobby and Colon are hilarious as a duo, acting as our EveryMan for Ankh-Morpork.

    I love the way he constructs his narratives and dialogue, bringing politics and social commentary into his books at every turn.

  13. Ok is tough right, only picking 7 I mean! I don't read as much as I should, but here are the first 7 which came to mind:

    - @neilhimself
    -
    -
    -
    All the Light We Cannot See -
    Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell -
    -

    Honestly I could have filled all 7 choices with books though 🙂
