  1. While you're here, have a quote as a little treat. Context: The Fools' Guild is on fire.

  2. I am continuing my #Discworld re-read and I had been looking forward to the experience of reading them in order, right from the beginning. But: currently I'm on holiday and have thus resorted to reading a book my wife packed, #TheFifthElephant.

    Which makes quite a contrast. I had just gotten as far as #WyrdSisters (#6) and was thinking "this isn't half bad"; three paragraphs into Elephant and there's a huge step up in quality in every direction.

  3. Another fabulous Pratchett stage adaptation by the Strawmoddie crew! Splendid evening, look forward to them returning to the Camera in June.

  4. @benhamill "I have never, I'm pretty sure, read any official write-up of what a kobold is."
    I guess that depends on whether you consider #Kobolds and #Goblins two distinct species, or just their name in different languages (at least according to annotations for #TerryPratchett's #Discworld novel #TheFifthElephant: «Kobold is a German word usually translated as "goblin." It also gives the English language the metal name Cobalt. […] another mine-dwelling supernatural entity is called a nickel.»)
