Soubhiville Ok this is a favorite of mine. I love the new characters. I love the twisty nature of the beginning of news reporting. The invention of the printing press. And the rollicking plot kept me turning pages. One of the best Discworld books for me. 💛 4y

Soubhiville Plus, vegetables shaped like... other things. 🤣 that‘s a fun rabbit hole to fall into on the internet. 4y
julesG @Soubhiville 🤣🤣🤣 I can only imagine the depth of this particular rabbit hole. 😂😂😂 4y
khooliha Of all the new characters I love Otto best of all. I listened to the Radio Morpork about this book and they called William one of the most interesting characters and I have to say I just don't see it. I think he could have been interesting, but I didn't think the book got into his interiority until pretty late. 4y
khooliha Honestly, this felt a bit like practice for Going Postal but maybe what I'm feeling is just how Ankh-Morpork books are going to be written going forward. 4y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @khooliha It‘s the first book of his Industrial Age sub-grouping, so I‘m thinking they will all have a similar vibe....sorta like Going Postal 4y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Soubhiville I loved this one too...the fine line between the Truth and things just made up (Fake News) and what people will believe if they see it in print, because “they” wouldn‘t print it if it wasn‘t true (reminded of anything on the internet) and a subgroup of elites trying to take over the government and then more or less having it hushed up and let go.....well that all seemed remarkably timely to me. 4y
Soubhiville @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I agree it does feel remarkably timely considering when it was written! 4y
BookmarkTavern @khooliha I can understand that. For me, a character who goes against what his family wants of him to become a writer? I related way too hard to that, so I‘ve always had a soft spot for William. 4y
BookmarkTavern So Vetinari‘s little speech to William about people not wanting to know new things? That immediately made me think of the echo chambers we can build for ourselves on social media sites and with what news we consume. I know I‘m definitely guilty of that on Facebook. 4y
khooliha @ozma.of.oz I think he has a strong starting point! It's just that he struck me as pretty swept along by the plot. It's a very plotty book. I don't remember does he cameo going forward, or is it mostly Otto or Sacharissa? 4y
BookmarkTavern @khooliha I think we see him at least once more? I‘m not 100% sure about that. 4y

This book is the wakeup call every Canadian needs. Indigenous rights are human rights. If you haven't read this book I suggest you do and keep a box of tissues near by.
