#OokBOokClub book of the month, re-reading #Eric for the umpteenth time. 😁😁
#ShadowCat being a goofball
pickAs my original reading of the Discworld books was wildly out of order, I wonder whether the strong linkage to Thud! and Snuff stood out to me as much then as it did in this reread. While Moist being himself in another adventure is enjoyable (with his ever growing list of associates), as are any moments with Vimes and the City Watch, there's a fair amount of space made not just for Iron Girder and her attendants, but continuing dwarf intrigue. 1/2
pickEric summons a demon of unimaginable power to grant his 3 world changing wishes. He gets Rincewind.
I know the story of Faust, so I thought I knew where this was going. But then I remembered this was a Rincewind book & threw my predictions out the window. Which is also where this plot went. With Pratchett‘s signature humor, a smartass parrot, & trips to distant past & the depths of Hell, this is easily my favorite Rincewind book. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
pickI'll admit to being a little worried that based on a couple key reveals, this book wouldn't hit the same upon reread. I'm happy to report the impact is still felt. Even knowing what's to come, how the characters act, and particularly what they say, is affecting. It's not just that you're invested in how things turn out, how the characters fare, it's finding out what success would really mean in this situation. 1/?
Having wrangled some gnarly filing systems, I feel this in my BONES.
Decapitation by hand seems to be a theme with this group....
“...just settle for ripping their heads off...“
He's got a plan, and safety protocols!
Well thought out indeed...🥴🧛🏻♂️
pick#Discworld not my favourite but I did like the look at demonology, hell, Greek mythology and the dangers of making wishes.
repost for @julesG:
