julesG 🎉🎉🎉 Took me only 18min to tag you all. 4d
willaful @julesG OUCH! 4d
TheSpineView There was a lot going on in this book. Loved the various ideas that Pratchett presented in the book. My favorite was the role of media as it pertains to the government. 4d
julesG @TheSpineView I was astonished at how well the book has aged. 4d
TheSpineView @julesG It did age well. I think some things will be timeless. 4d
kwmg40 I really enjoyed this one. Coincidentally, I was reading The Golden Road by L.M. Montgomery for #kindredspiritsbuddyread and in it, the main characters start a newspaper, so it was fun to compare! As others have mentioned, the themes of the book are still very relevant today. 3d
BookmarkTavern It‘s a little alarming how well it‘s aged! Journalism and what it owes to the people, versus how to work with the government and law enforcement, it‘s a narrow line to walk. Vimes and William‘s banter remains probably my favorite part of this book. And that final confrontation with William‘s dad! I forgot just how much that moved me. (edited) 2d
julesG @BookmarkTavern Your review reminded me, I loved Otto and the antics about him turning to dust so often, but not giving up his profession. 2d

BookmarkTavern This was such a fun read! I really loved the satire of Hollywood and making movies, how Dibbler kept going grander and grander with his plans. Also, the troll romance was unexpectedly delightful. And I can‘t believe it took me until the last hour or so for the book that I got the uncle Oswald reference was the Oscar statues. 😅😅😅 (edited) 1mo
julesG @BookmarkTavern 😁 It took me some time to get the uncle Oswald reference, too. 1mo

julesG Did I mention that the new recording of the audiobook is narrated by Jason Isaacs? If not, mea culpa. 1mo
BarbaraJean I loved all the little references--especially Blown Away 😂 It was a lot of fun deciphering those references, and I'm sure I missed a lot of them. I also really liked the deeper themes about dreams, and Victor's comments on being the biggest version of yourself. I'd have liked more of that, but felt like it got eclipsed by all the clever references. @BookmarkTavern Yes! The troll romance! I think the trolls were my favorite characters in this one. 1mo
willaful @BarbaraJean I also liked the troll romance, which reminded me of my marriage. 🤣 I really had to hit him with a brick!

I enjoyed all the jokes, but also feel the deeper themes weren't explored as much as I would've liked. It's interesting to see the beginnings of the Wizard changeover, and Ponder Stibbons.

julesG @willaful You married a troll? 😜 Reading Unseen Academicals and then jumping right into Moving Pictures I was actually confused for a moment that Ponder was a student. 4w
willaful Well, he is very tall. 😂

Yes, the chronology was a bit confusing. I wonder what Rincewind was up to while all this was happening. Probably running away, somewhere.

julesG @willaful chased by who-knows-what and Luggage 4w
willaful @julesG I'm still unclear about what happened to the Luggage's domestic life... 4w
julesG @willaful They lived happily ever after? And CMOT Dibbler sold the little ones off to the highest bidders. Or is that slavery? 4w
