Unruly: The Ridiculous History of England's Kings and Queens | David Mitchell

pick

If you find history is often dry but you‘re interested in learning more in a different way, look no further than this history book written by a comedian! Yup, correct historical information presented in a way you will snort-laugh your way through (at least I did). This book is a hoot!

squirrelbrain I bought this when it first came out but, of course, haven‘t read it yet. Good to hear you enjoyed it! 23h

Hooked_on_books @squirrelbrain I think “I have it but haven‘t read it yet” is the theme of my life! 😂 20h

squirrelbrain Might get a tattoo of that! 🤣 (if I was a tattoo kind of girl, that is) 16h

CarolynM @squirrelbrain I have a not yet read copy too and I totally relate to that theme @Hooked_on_books 🤣 16h

Bonkers: My Life in Laughs | Jennifer Saunders

Gosh I enjoyed this - far more than I expected to. The audiobook is “marvellous” (I‘ve found I now say marvellous all the time since listening to this 🫣). Jennifer Saunders is justifiably a comic great, and her stories and anecdotes are laugh out loud funny. Highly recommend the audio to appreciate her expression and comic timing!

The Joys of Yiddish | Leo Rosten

In Yiddish, "mishegas" (also spelled "mishigas" or "mishugas") refers to craziness, silliness, or foolishness. It can also refer to a situation or behavior that is irrational or absurd. The term is often used humorously to describe something that is chaotic or nonsensical.

willaful Urg, I think that Trollbridge link is to a sketchy site. It was acting suspiciously and so I looked and found this article: https://www.reddit.com/r/zlibrary/comments/zksqkz/scam_alert_beware_of_these_fak... 😬 2d

julesG Thanks! @willaful I also found and downloaded the story right now from this link using a very careful browser and got no alerts https://jerrywbrown.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Troll-Bridge-Pratchett-Terry.... 2d

julesG Okay, I'll start. 🤣🤣 Sourcery isn't my favourite Discworld adventure. Rincewind isn't my favourite hero. But, I love how he's bumbling about and accidentally saving the world. 4d

TheAromaofBooks This was my first Discworld book, and while I liked it, I didn't love it. So I was glad to see a lot of reviews saying this wasn't one of the best 😂 I did appreciate the humor and unique characters, so I'm excited to read more. 4d

julesG @TheAromaofBooks Glad you liked it. 4d

Deblovestoread I‘m the same as Sarah. My first Pratchett and it was ok. I am looking forward to the next one to get more familiar with Discworld. 3d

willaful I'm not a huge Rincewind fan (nor is my mom, a huge Pratchett fangirl. ;-) ) so I suggest the newcomers try again, perhaps when we get to the Witches or the Watch books. Or Death, Death is great. Lol.

I read this last month by mistake and don't remember my thoughts much, except there seemed to be maybe some inspiration for “Good Omens.“ Anyone else agree?

Good Omens

3d

julesG @willaful I agree. There are some things that appear in Good Omens. But not only from this book, there are elements from other Discworld novels (especially the ones set in AM) that made it into GO in some way. 3d

BookWrym The Death books are my favourite. Does anyone else here want their own real live luggage? 3d

TheSpineView Not quit finished reading but close enough for discussions. I agree with everyone that this is not my favorite book. However, I thought as I was reading that it reminded me of the movie Pink Panther. Thinking specifically about Inspector Clouseau. There are some similarities between the two. Sorcery was first published in 1988 according to GoodReads. Which is after the first movie with Peter Seller's. I wonder if he drew inspiration from it?? 3d

kwmg40 I'm still working on my reread of this book but thought I'd jump into the discussion anyhow. Rincewind isn't a favourite, but I love all appearances of The Luggage. The Librarian is also a great character. 3d

julesG @BookWrym I'd love to have my own Luggage. 3d

julesG @TheSpineView Now that you mention it 🤔 I see the connection. 3d

julesG @kwmg40 Ook! 3d

BarbaraJean This is my first foray into Discworld outside of Tiffany Aching and Mort, and I agree--not my favorite. It was fun and it made me laugh, but Rincewind felt lackluster. It took me until the upside-down magic carpet and the half-brick-in-a-sock before I was really on board with Rincewind. 😂 @TheSpineView The comparison to Pink Panther actually endears Rincewind to me a bit more! Maybe he just needs an outrageous French accent. 😆 2d

TheSpineView @BarbaraJean Too funny!! 🤣🤣🤣 2d
