Ive only read the color of magic but it was amazing.

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

But... That's not complete story? You stopped half way through.

[–] Toneswirly@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What can I say, i planned on reading the next bit but got sidetracked

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Well it speaks volumes that you have such a high opinion of half the story. I assure you you'll enjoy the Light Fantastic, I hope you find the time.

Might be worth pinning this post?

Since when is Eric an illustrated novel? It's just a regular novel like the others

I tried reading Discworld a couple of times now and just can't get into it. So slow and uninteresting to me. I'd love to know where to start as a old school hard scifi reader.

People I respect revere the guy so there must be something to it, right?

What did you read last time?

[–] Subverb@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I don't remember offhand. It was long ago.

For me the fantasy takes a backseat to the social commentary. Pratchett is great when he is angry and trying to shake the stupid and mean out of people.
