willaful I\'m a bit behind, hope to catch up today. 2mo
BarbaraJean @willaful Same! I‘m a little over halfway—will come back and discuss in a couple of days! 2mo
julesG @willaful @BarbaraJean no problems, I'm not finished with the book either 2mo
willaful Well, that was fun, and I always love the bits of goofy romance Pratchett pops in. I hadn't read this one before but it's one of my mom's favs -- probably because it's very light on Rincewind. 😂 I think it may have helped that I read it after seeing “Ted Lasso,“ and got more of the jokes around football/soccer. Pepe was a bit of a surprise! 2mo

TheSpineView Got to say how much I enjoyed this one. His is genius with this satirical view of Hollywood. And Gaspode The Wonder Dog!!!!! 😂😂😂 2mo
BookmarkTavern I‘m so glad to have revisited this one! I was so focused on getting irritated with the wizards last time, I didn‘t fully appreciate Nutt. That feeling of having to work for worth, I deeply empathized with that. And listening to Glenda say “you always have” made me tear up. I do wish we could have gotten another Nutt novel. 2mo

julesG I completely forgot to read this book. I've started yesterday. Will chime in properly later. But just wanted to say that I'm still in awe at Pratchett's way with words. When I first read his books the satire wasn't as obvious to my teenage self as it is today. 2mo
julesG @BookmarkTavern I agree with getting irritated with the wizard's. 2mo
julesG ? No, autocorrect, I wanted the word to be "wizards" plural. ??? 2mo
kwmg40 @TheSpineView Was this comment meant for the next book? I\'m reading it now and I too love Gaspode! 2mo
kwmg40 @BookmarkTavern Yes, Nutt was such a terrific character! 2mo
kwmg40 @julesG Oh, autocorrect does stuff like this to me all the time. So annoying. 2mo
kwmg40 I loved this installment of the Discworld series! First of all, it was nice to finally get in the Rincewind series, some really good female characters. I especially liked the interactions among the group of Glenda, Nutt, Juliet and Trevor. I also liked Pratchett\'s hilarious takes on football, academia and the Romeo and Juliet story. 2mo
kwmg40 At first, I thought that Pratchett was being ridiculous with the Megapode Hunt. Then I found out it\'s based on a real-life tradition: the Mallard Hunt at All Souls College in Oxford! My daughter did her Master\'s degree at Oxford and she confirms that totally inane traditions are quite common there. 2mo
BarbaraJean I loved this one. Nutt especially. @BookmarkTavern I was disappointed to search around and discover this is all we get of Nutt's story. I would have LOVED another Nutt book, or at least another appearance! @kwmg40 YES to finally getting some really good female characters. Glenda was fantastic. I feel like this is the first time in the Rincewind books where we get some actual character development--and it's all in that character group. 2mo
BookmarkTavern @kwmg40 Is it really? That‘s hilarious! 😂😂😂 2mo

khooliha Pretty sure this is the Discworld novel that came out right as I had to take the GRE. Don't know if I've revisited it since then! Haven't quite gotten to it yet this time around, and my schedule has me considering an audiobook reread. 3y
Soubhiville The new characters in this one were wonderful too. And micro-mail! It doesn‘t chafe! 3y

Soubhiville My favorite thing about this was the list of obscure and bizarre rules for the sport. As a non-fan who lives with a fan, having real-life sportsball things explained to me can feel just as random. 3y
DrexEdit I loved this story of fitting in and finding your own way, despite how everybody else views you. Mr. Nutt is delightful. I would really like to start a traditional Hunt of the Megapode also! 😆 3y
khooliha Pepe and Madame, best new characters 3y
