Dear #OokBOokClub-ers,

I am proposing a #Discworld re-read based on the above reading guide. #SirTerryPratchett himself suggested starting with Sourcery, so that's what I'd suggest too.

I can draw up a reading schedule.

Your thoughts?

Let me know if you want to be tagged in future postings.

julesG @TheSpineView that's absolutely fine. It's an option not an obligation. 😁 2mo

julesG @kwmg40 Great!!! 2mo

TheSpineView @julesG 😎😎😎 2mo

Soubhiville Wow that‘s confusing! I probably won‘t reread right now, but if you keep tagging me I might occasionally feel like picking up what you‘re reading. 🙂 2mo

BookmarkTavern Yes! I love this idea! 💖💖💖 2mo

rretzler Absolutely, I‘m trying to read them all for the first time, so a reread of some and an initial read for others is just what I need to keep me motivated and on track! Thanks for organizing! 2mo

peanutnine Could you tag me for this? I've always wanted to read Discworld but never know where to even begin. A readalong with y'all sounds perfect 2mo

julesG @rretzler @peanutnine Yeah! Glad to have you join us. 2mo

julesG @BarbaraJean 🎉🎉 2mo

julesG @LitsyEvents - would you repost this please? 2mo

The Discworld Atlas | Terry Pratchett, The Discworld Emporium

Thank you all, dear #OokBOokClub-ers!

We've read our way through the #PratchettVerse. It was a pleasure hosting the #ReadAlong and discussing the books with you.

Thank you to @TricksyTails for starting the #EpicBuddyread. I took over hosting in the autumn of 2018 (thank you, @DGRachel, for helping me find my feet) and I'm sure to miss my regular calendar alarms reminding me to send off the next #OokBOokClub posts.

What are we reading next?

julesG @alisiakae @DrexEdit @Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Tea_and_Starstuff @dariazeoli @Soubhiville @GingerAntics @rubyslippersreads @Karkar @kwmg40 @Marmie7 @Liatrek @khooliha @Read-y_Picker @TheSpineView @BookmarkTavern @Jennifer3 @Fortifiedbybooks @willaful 2mo

willaful Start over? 😁 2mo

julesG @willaful Definitely an option. 2mo

See All 19 Comments

kwmg40 I would love starting over, as I joined this buddy read late and never caught up. I‘ve finished about a third of the books. However, I‘d totally understand the rest of the group wanting to move on and do something new! 2mo

TheSpineView I would like to choose another author. However, I did miss a lot because I went down several rabbit holes. 2mo

kwmg40 Another author would be fine with me, but if we do end up rereading Pratchett's books, maybe we can start with a collection (such as City Watch or Witches) instead of reading through all the books in publication order? 2mo

julesG @kwmg40 I like that idea of reading the collections. But I'm also up for a new author, @TheSpineView. 2mo

BookmarkTavern I‘d love either way! This has been an utter delight! 2mo

julesG @BookmarkTavern @TheSpineView @kwmg40 @willaful - Re: re-reading Pratchett -- I'd want to do Discworld collections. I'm not very keen on (re-)reading The Long Earth series, but would be up to re-read the children's books (Carpet People, Maurice, etc.). Re: different author, my thoughts -- a) it should be an author with at least 12 books under their belt to get us through a year at least, b) it should be "light" reading, c) ⬇️ 2mo

julesG c) books should be easy to access, neither of us wants to comb through archives or spend lots of money on collectors' copies, d) I'm open to suggestions 2mo

TheSpineView @julesG As a reread are you thinking an author in the same vein? Like Neil Gaiman? 2mo

julesG @TheSpineView Gaiman came to mind, but he has some doorstoppers (American Gods). Also thought Jasper Fforde and Ben Aaronovitch. Jodi Taylor might work too. Further Chesterton and Wodehouse, who were both influences for Pratchett. 2mo

julesG And if we stick to a Pratchett re-read then I'd want to do The Witches, Death, The Watch,... 2mo

kwmg40 If we're going outside the fantasy genre, Chesterton and Wodehouse would be OK with me. Within fantasy, maybe Martha Wells or Seanan McGuire (who also writes as Mira Grant)? Their works aren't necessarily “light“ as in humorous but they tend to be quick to read and there are lots of novella-length works. 2mo

kwmg40 If we stay with Pratchett, my top choices would be City Watch or Industrial as collections, as I have the most gaps in those collections, but any would be fine with me. 2mo

SconsinBookyBadger Please tag me for the next buddy reads whichever direction it leads to a re-read or different author. I fell behind on this one and regret has been nagging at me lately. 2mo

julesG @SconsinBookyBadger I know that feeling. Will tag you. 2mo

rretzler I have no idea how I missed this until it was over. I guess partially because I haven‘t been active in a couple of years, but I wish I had some upon it before now! Please tag me if you do something else. 2mo

julesG @rretzler Will do! 2mo

The Time-travelling Caveman | Terry Pratchett

pick

Short stories published when Terry Pratchett was just starting to develop the skills that would make him Terry Pratchett.

A fairy tale retelling that emphasizes the importance of unionizing? A caveman proving his humanity in a court of law? Delightful. And it‘s been so fun to see early publishings of Pratchett. It gives me hope for my own writing, because while we can see his humor & his skill, he comes a long way up through Discworld. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

ChaoticMissAdventures I just saw a Twitter thread where his daughter overheard a woman in the subway talking about Pratchett 's books and she was debating talking to them! She ended up having a little chat with them and now I feel like I need to just talk out loud about him constantly just in case I find myself in her presence 😂 4mo

julesG It is good to see that even the 'great' writers had to hone their skills and started out with slightly less great stories. 4mo
