    SPOILERS Reaper Man Discussion **Spoilers**

    ...wizards you might want to delay reading the next two books in the Death series and either read some of the more "non-series" books (Moving Pictures, Pyramids, Small Gods) or go through the Watch series, which mostly can be read on its own without needing to read all the other books written...

    SPOILERS The Fifth Elephant Discussion *Spoilers*

    ...Ankh Morporkh, in contrast to the more reactionary attitude (as generally expressed by Vetinari) toward progress in books like Moving Pictures and Soul Music. And just about every character except Carrot contributes something valuable to the resolution of the plot. And it's the first book...

    Collectors Library

    There's no way to know short of asking them directly. They seem to have been moving cautiously, doing only a few books at a time. Now they're cautiously saying that they will do the rest of the adult novels. They aren't saying they won't do the Tiffany Aching books, but they're not making any...

    Questions and thoughts re: the Harry Potter books

    I'd like to offer my apologies in advance if the coming post offends you. :( All I can say in defence is that it is simply my own personal opinion of the Harry Potter books, and that I've only read the first two. ;) Anyway... naturally, I'm a long-time fan of Terry's books (obviously. I...

    Some news about upcoming books.

    ...from the Discworld Monthly! ;) (Apologies if others here are subscribers, like me - if you are, this will not be new to you!) :D Moving Pictures News (there is no news as to when these projects will be released)... 1. The Wee Free Men (screenplay by Rhianna Pratchett). There will be an...

    Unpopular Discworld opinions?

    ...their skin and you see through their eyes rather than the writer's. Small Gods is still one of my favourites. I used to really like Moving Pictures, but don't enjoy it so much now. There are a ton of movie references, but the story itself doesn't ultimately go anywhere. Soul Music does a...

    Unpopular Discworld opinions?

    ...it. I don’t think this was ever resolved. (This might be more of a comment rather than an unpopular opinion though.) Books: I love Moving Pictures. One of my favorite DW books. I love it every time I re-read it. I’m not that fond of Wyrd Sisters. This may not actually be unpopular, but I...

    Idea for a Discworld Campaign

    ...- is mentioned in The Science of Discworld, I think... although both it and Ponder Stibbons are mentioned as far back as Reaper Man, and Ponder is mentioned even further back, in Moving Pictures IIRC, where he and Victor Tugelbend are classmates. Here's some more info about UU. Good luck! :)

    Moving Pictures? Didn't Ruby want "pretty Oograah"?

    SPOILERS Soul Music Discussion **Spoilers**

    I think Soul Music may have the most allusions per page of any Discworld book, even beating Moving Pictures. I think most of the songs on Pink Floyd's "The Wall" are in there, but more often embedded as story structure than as direct verbal allusions.

    5 Best and 5 Worst Discworld Novels

    ...but it wasn't "bad" enough to make my Bottom 5 list. The plot was confusing and not particularly compelling (and rather derivative of Moving Pictures in some ways) and from a character development point of view, I thought it was a step back for Granny Weatherwax in particular. To me, Carpe...

    5 Best and 5 Worst Discworld Novels

    ...Honourable Mentions go to all the witches books for being so fun, particuarly Wyrd Sisters, Witches Abroad and Maskerade. But also Moving Pictures, Soul Music, Interesting Times, The Last Hero... argh!! It's impossible to keep these to just five favourites! :mrgreen: Bottom 5 It's hard to...

    No, it's not Moving Pictures.

    Hmm... could it be Moving Pictures? AFAIK, that's the book where the Alchemists have a starring role (pardon the pun)! ;)

    SPOILERS Sourcery Discussion **Spoilers**

    I'm currently re-reading Sourcery (for the first time in at least 10 years) and it's a chore (but not as much of a chore as Moving Pictures or Soul Music .........). It's not BAD as such but it IS lacking both in terms of story and interesting characters. It also has a rather high "waffle...
