Well, sure... MP was about the magic of two-dimensional images and how it works out in our 3-D world. ("Just long enough," as is usual in Pratchett.) SM is about the magical effect of soul in various definitions, and it lasts longer than most images.

I agree - it's much deeper than Moving Pictures. :)

Just finished Soul Music this morning. I think it's way more than just a music version of Moving Pictures. As a newcomer I find the further you read into discworld the stronger the plots seem to get. Personally it was the scenes with Susan and/or Death that stood out for me. Hmm, I now have...

...say also could be easily read and fully appreciated without having read earlier books are Pyramids, Small Gods, Equal Rites, Mort, Moving Pictures and possibly Monstrous Regiment, although you'll miss a lot by not knowing the back story of the very famous Ankh Morpork figures who have cameos...

at signing sessions for wyrd sisters ( leeds) moving pictures ( leeds again) interesting times ( huddersfield where i got myself into the local paper in the photograph the reporter took, being first in the queue.... ok for 1:30 hours i *was* the queue) the dedications in the various copies...

...next. I've read almost all the Diskworld books, except Hogfather, Wintersmith and Maurice, and so far the only one i havn't loved was Moving Pictures, perhaps because there was not much of the "Regular Characters". I'd realy like to see "Guards Guards" made, though i can't think who would be...

...if you like police procedural/mystery books). Here are some good starting points, which don't really require much background knowledge: Mort Pyramids Wyrd Sisters Guards! Guards! Moving Pictures Small Gods The Truth The Wee Free Men Going Postal Others probably have other recommendations too!

...working for a living). Granny explained that in Lords and Ladies to Ridcully (p.166 US pb) and Victor Tugelbend saw some of them in Moving Pictures. No, as you said above, wizards and witches and dwarfs (they make flying broomsticks) can create magical things. However, there is a strong...

Alas, Tamar, I think this is another one of your literary theories that while interesting doesn't hold up under the evidence. There's no evidence whatsoever that Pepe is an elf. Elves don't 'make' anything; they STEAL what already exists. There's no 'magical armor' in UA; just very strong...

...if not un-evil, at least less evil: Pepe. I believe that Pepe is intended to be another of the transformed characters in UA. In Moving Pictures, there is a comment that there are elves working in Holy Wood. In Lords and Ladies, Granny Weatherwax explains that there are elf-human...

I was wondering... what does a troll sound like when it is singing. Particularly, a lady troll. More specifically, a lady troll named Ruby. (I've only just finished Moving Pictures, so I'd rather not have any spoilers please)

But Moving Pictures mentioned the lightscreen stuff, I just assumed it became a troll practise, like we all (presumably) wash our teeth and brush ourselves in the morning :P Sally mentioned her hat in Thud

And also about the time that the Bursar stopped being the calm, sane man who ran the University (see Moving Pictures, Reaper Man) and kept going more and more insane, and thus dependent on Dried Frog Pills. Ponder has basically taken over every administrative role the Bursar used to do, except...

Re: Pepe Didn't he already do this in Wee Free Men? Basically setting up the Queen as an almost tragic figure. saying that her and fairyland used to be very different before the king and her had their falling out and he left. That she changed, got colder, harsher, meaner, and with her so did...

...I have a different theory, for which there is very little evidence except more theory... Does anybody else remember that back in Moving Pictures there were elves working in Holy Wood? And that in one of the Witch stories Granny Weatherwax said yes, there were cross-breeds of elves and humans...

Moving Pictures?

...'cultural parody' books (like Soul Music, Eric, and, to a lesser degree, Unseen Academicals and Wyrd SIsters), the enjoyment of Moving Pictures rests more in recognizing all of the movie references rather than in the story and characters, all of which are pretty shallow in comparison to the...

I thought it seemed too easy,Moving Pictures again a completely random guess
