Well as your #shelfie appeared in my TL via @Anoia & you seem to be from foreign parts😜 you might not have seen #GNUTerryPratchett bookshelves as they were displayed in the Salisbury exhibition almost a decade ago.⤵️
The Specialist in the 3rd photo was one of the books that had excerpts read from in when pTerry did the Radio 4 Xmas With Great Pleasure unfortunately not currently available but one of his other Radio 4 appearances is:-
Desert Island Discs
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00944rySadly his "The Museum of Curiosity" appearance is also not currently available on the BBC site but I have a vague recollection that it might be available in some kind of Archive not mentioning No names, no pack drill😜

#GNUTerryPratchett Got a shout out today on #Radio4's "You're Dead To Me"(A comedy history series I’d recommend) referencing the #DiscWorld book #InterestingTimes and its references to the #RoundWorld Terracotta Army.

RE: https://toot.community/@blackwaterborn/116301239248308453
So it seems #GNUTerryPratchett should have got the Nobel Hat-trick
Obviously the Boots essay should have got the echognomics(If i have my Trob translation right😜 ) one.
The quoted post below by Drew shows he should have had the physics one.
And of course some of us more fanatical fans have also accused him of literature on occasions.

@rdm insisted I post this even though it was drawn in about 10 seconds with my finger.
He likes the immediacy.

Well, I put the telescope out last night and targeted the Keyhole Nebula. Now, I don't know about you but this looks like Great A'Tuin, Sir Terry's marvelous astrochelonian, is checking on a star cluster nest of eggs.
May Sir Terry rest in peace and know that he's loved. I met him a few times, a wonderful soul he lit up a room like a gentle nebula himself!

Oook‼️ ‼️
One for #GNUTerryPratchett fans who also have a fondness for our Orangutan cousins over the years I have come across several things in #Discworld books that you would initially think of being from pTerry's fantasy imagination but turned out to be references to weird #RoundWorld realities he picked up in his wide ranging reading research but I am not sure if some of his fans in the science community named the librarian Long Call after his death or if it was named before & it made it into the Long Earth series & we only now are beginning to understand the recursive complexities in the language of a fellow ape & he extrapolated it early. Anyway some in the above Venn diagram of interests might enjoy the #SciShow linked below.

As you cropped up in my feed via #discworld tag you might appreciate the Reading order guide for it ⤵️
& IIRC The short story Theatre of Cruelty is still available for free on lspace.org by permission of pTerry who also added bits to the Troll Bridge fan film which was made into an excellent short film available on youtube

@kithrup Well I won't give any major spoilers other than you can infer the fictional me was put out of a job by illegal immigrants in the book so to speak(Though I could have been promoted to unseen management😜 ) but you could also infer that the theme of the book was antifascist in its own way. Minor spoiler Nobby gets a new love interest.

@El_ On my walk today after I saw a canal boat named Llamados I was thinking about what my fellow #GNUTerryPratchett fans have brought into my life over the years but accusing me of being wonderful did you not read that bit about the Elves‼️ ‼️ ❓ 😜
But otherwise a nice thought

@thegiddystitcher @static @ScottStarkey
I think that was one of the older versions version 3.0 is below which I think is the latest but could be wrong if someone found another short story also another version with different layout.
I have my favourites you could join at any point but you may get more out of it if start with the 1st of any sub-series as the characters definitely progress in their development over the years.

#GNUTerryPratchett Joining in Blowing a Feegles bagpipe at the 2004 @dwcon almost two decades ago. He is has caused many memories that still make me smile from the 80's until even today when re-reading one of his books. GNU pTerry 🐢🐘🐘🐘🐘🔵 #TheTurtleMoves

What an incredible world we were gifted. Like most people, the Discworld came into my life at a time when I truly needed the escape. I am forever grateful.
I raise my cup of tea to Terry today ♥️

@RamenCatholic @diazona @annathepiper @moira
That they thought it was an excellent idea to project it on to bedsheets it made it more #Discworld ly & how well run and smoothly the event had gone with fans of all ages enjoying themselves.
If only they knew being in the background I did see signs of genuine panic before things got sorted out.
And that ends my story of the two #Hogfather premieres hope you all enjoy 2nd part later whichever time zone you are in.

@dwcon The large range of interesting people met & associated experiences I have had being part of #Discworld fandom it is hard to narrow it down to one though becoming a part time fictional character is up there but that would never have happened if I had not met & interacted with other fans from talking to others in signing queues to participating in fandom events big and small over the years. Cheers to you all🍻

J’ai craqué pour cette paire de chaussures #Discworld décorées d'une illustration du regretté #JoshKirby.
Farah, elle, aime surtout la boîte ^^Certains auront reconnu l'artwork du point'n'click sorti en 1995. C'est cette illustration, d'abord aperçue dans un catalogue de jeux à venir sur #SEGASaturn, qui m'a donné envie d'en savoir plus sur l'univers de #TerryPratchett.

@Jinshei You are not alone in this.I am currently enjoying a complete #Discworld reread on what would have been #GNUTerryPratchett 75th spotting where later books were born as I go along as I have read them several times I think he even on occasions cut&pasted the line from the book it was born in to the book it spawned.But my memory is not so good to be absolutely sure but Hogswatch was mentioned several times before Hogfather&KoomValley many times before Thud. #TheTurtleMoves
