    SPOILERS Maskerade Discussion *Spoilers*

    There are different kinds of depth. Maskerade is about masks, layers of personality. Almost everyone in it is in disguise one way or another, wearing masks either metaphorical or physical. Nanny Ogg wore the mask of "A Lancre Witch". Agnes originally chose the mask of Perdita, which took on a...

    So, you've discovered Discworld...

    ...to read this book, Death's granddaughter, Death of the rats and so on. It was somewhat confusing as the next books I read has been "Moving Pictures" and after this "Reaper Man". While reading this novel I wondered if the girl who appears here (wotshername?) may be the girl Death adopted and...

    SPOILERS Maskerade Discussion *Spoilers*

    ...it is still a flaw in the whitch series, I enjoyed it. I enjoyed or actually like it on the same scale as I like Witches Abroad or Moving Pictures. There is not as much depth as I like in other (later or in some cases earlier) books but I like it on a smaller level. Some Postings above there...

    So, you've discovered Discworld...

    Thank you The Mad Collector! Of course I’m going to continue with Discworld, I’m waiting impatiently for new books! :mrgreen: And recommending the current ones to as much people as I can! Actually I convinced my English teacher (she’s from London) to try with “Guards! Guards!” and she is loving...

    So, you've discovered Discworld...

    The individual novels are good too. Moving Pictures is a wizards novel. It has many references to movies of the early 20th century, so you may want to read the lists of annotations at the Pratchett website at www.lspace.org Vimes has a small role in Monstrous Regiment. Many people think...

    So, you've discovered Discworld...

    ...and Tiffany, plus the Truth. And now what? I really loved all the pieces of Terry. I guess I'll read the single novels (Piromids, Moving Pictures, Small Gods and Monstrous Regiment), but frankly I'm not expecting too much. Shall I read the short novels or Science books or are just a...

    Raising Steam Train - Where is the stoker and firebox?

    ...somewhat, and how coins are made, and also in previous books, I'm used to him explaining about how to make footballs, spells, stamps, moving pictures, etc. There's not enough "chewy meat" in RS to fully explain what a train is, other than the personified thing on the very first page, which...

    Pratchett's Countries

    ...I think? I actually only noticed the backwards spelling when I saw the word in Raising Steam... I'd read Soul Music loads of times and never seen it. Makes me feel just as stupid as when I read through the entire Moving Pictures book without realising Holy Wood was a reference to HollyWood :D

    The Audio Books

    ...were originally written like that. Detritus didn't start out as a Sergeant, he was a stupid street troll hired for his muscles(Moving Pictures); Carrot was a befuddled teenager at the start of Guards! Guards!. Most of the ones you mention have formed into those rolls over the years. The thing...

    SPOILERS The Long Earth **Spoilers**

    ...he has. People of his class at that time (one assumes) didn't travel abroad, probably didn't see too many books with pictures and moving pictures were still in their infancy. The thing that comes to mind is the people seeing a movie of a train pulling into a station for the first time and...

    SPOILERS Eric Discussion **Spoilers**

    ...books reissured by corgi, but Eric doesn't seem to be included in the list. Guards!Guards! was published by Corgi November 5, 2012, Moving Pictures as well. There seems to be a new edition of Eric called The Illustrated Eric, would this be the equivalent I'm right now so desperately looking...

    Best book for a big budget film

    ...with the Watch. But I wouldn't choose a Watch story for a big stand-alone film, for exactly that reason. I'd go for something like Moving Pictures. Actually yes - definitely Moving Pictures. It's parody angle gives people an immediately understandable hook for audiences to be drawn in by...

    A recommenndation

    Maybe I had an advantage to other pupils, though at the time it did not seem to be an advantage at all. Two days before my first school day I broke a leg when running through the house and slipping on a piece of clothing. My mother was about to go washing in the cellar and was moving the dirty...

    Favourite lines in Discworld novels..

    ...that always raises a smile to a chuckle to a full blown guffaw, so what are your favourites? To start things off I am re-re-reading 'Moving Pictures' and this line made me appreciate the subtle genius of the author:- "...there's as saying that there's a saying that all roads lead to...

    When do children really understand the concept of fiction?

    ...adult he had unconsciously assumed that the starscapes shown on the viewscreens were done by going up in a space ship and taking moving pictures, even though he knew that the plots were fiction. What do you think: At what age do most children realize that the characters they see in cartoons...
