I am currently rather enjoying my first read-through of the Discworld series by Sir Terry Pratchett. As of today, I am a stone's throw away from finishing Interesting Times and starting Maskerade (probably later tonight).
The quote below was the first quote that I deemed worthy of retaining for posterity, upon my first reading of The Colour of Magic.
----------------------------------
"His was the air of one who is unjustly put upon, who is dreaded and feared, yet who is the only friend of the poor and the best doctor for the mortally wounded....
Death, although exceptionally busy at all times, decided that He now had a hobby."
From: "The Colour of Magic" by Sir Terry Pratchett (1983)

Watching Good Omens S3:Ep1. In which a gangster boss and a demon play Monopoly.
Gangster: You've gotta own everything, and you leave everyone else penniless, crushed, and miserable.
Demon: Sounds like a game only a human could invent.
Gangster: You can be The Shoe.
(A little while later … )
Gangster: Oh dear … that kind of, like, wipes you out … though, still, it's a bloody good game, eh? Penniless, crushed, and miserable.

I love that they put up a painting of #SirTerryPratchett at the end of #GoodOmens3 #gnuterrypratchett

Even though he is no longer here to share it, we wish a happy birthday to the Creator of the Discworld - the one and only Sir Terry Pratchett. "Mud in your bottom!" As Nanny would say.

“History isn't like that. History unravels gently, like an old sweater. It has been patched and darned many times, reknitted to suit different people, shoved in a box under the sink of censorship to be cut up for the dusters of propaganda, yet it always - eventually - manages to spring back into its old familar shape. History has a habit of changing the people who think they are changing it. History always has a few tricks up its frayed sleeve. It's been around a long time.”
― Terry Pratchett, Mort -
Heute sind es 11 Jahre.
11 Jahre, in denen unsere Welt immer platter und lächerlicher wurde anstatt scheibesker und witziger.
Sie fehlen, #SirTerryPratchett.

On this day in 2009, our favourite author became Sir Terry Pratchett! To mark the occasion, and because a knight ought to have a sword, he had his very own sword forged from Thunderbolt Iron.

@davep C.M.O.T. Dribbler would have snapped those up! Much tenderer than rat.

Bizarrely I was reading WYRD sisters by #SirTerryPratchett yesterday. The witches there use headology to cause a member of the guard to kill another more vicious guard.

@tuban_muzuru @Anoia Oh! Deep sigh. I remember exactly where I was when I heard of his death. And so many tears! I don’t remember before or since crying over an author. Sharing with a friend who just this week began reading #SirTerryPratchett #PTerry @Caiotekit
