willaful I took pics of some of my favorite quotes so I'd remember them for this. :-)

ā€Don't put your trust in revolutions. They always come around again. That's why they're called revolutions.ā€

julesG @willaful I bought the book since it has a lot of my favourite quotes. Pratchett had a way with words that doesn't seem to get old. 1y

willaful ā€A man's not dead while his name is still spoken.ā€

This one hit me particularly hard because I lost a friend some years back who was a very active and well known person in the internet world, and his friends did a version of putting him into the ā€clacksā€ similar to what was done for Pratchett.

Small book with quotes from #SirTerryPratchett. I'll have to find a way to display this so that everyone visiting my home can see it, pick it up, and find a piece of wisdom to chuckle about.

Seriously Funny: The Endlessly Quotable Terry Pratchett | Terry Pratchett

This year has not been easy for me. Missing some very loved ones in my life I have started going back to the most comforting place in the multiverse: #discworld I've started to listen to #terrypratchett novels on audiobook (reading's still hard) in chronological order (halfway through now, in green) It immediately felt like the warm embrace of an old dear friend, companion and confidant. You're missed, Sir Terry, but never forgotten. #speakhisname

Moray_Reads There's always comfort in the wit and wisdom of Sir Terry, I almost always have a Discworld book on the go, either in audio or print. I hope they continue to bring you joy ā¯¤ 7y

Heideschrampf @Moray_Reads he was my first (literary) love when i was 12 and will always stay with me, i'm sure. Discworld has become a second home, it's inhabitants like family. It is, however, the first time reading them in order of publication. Great to see the ripening and development of so many beloved characters. I wish there could have been more, but I'm glad that HIS spirit will always be there for the world and me... #wethen (edited) 7y

Soubhiville Yes! Those audiobooks are so well done that I hear them in that voice when I read to myself! 7y

Terry Pratchett fans! The only Pratchett I've read is Good Omens, and every time someone shares a bit of Sir Terry, I wonder why I haven't started reading his work yet. What might be the best book to start with?

CherylDeFranceschi The first one in the Discworld series, it is definitely not his strongest. My favorite ones are the Tiffany Aching books.

The Colour of Magic

7y

Soubhiville I'm in agreement with @CherylDeFranceschi , the Tiffany Aching series are my favorite. The first being

The Wee Free Men

7y

Soubhiville My favorite from the regular Discworld series is

Reaper Man

7y

kalinichta @CherylDeFranceschi @Soubhiville Thank you both for the recommendations. I appreciate it. 7y
