@BrianBinh #TerryPratchett once noted, "The title wizard is said to be derived from the archaic word "Wys-ars", meaning one who, at bottom, is very wise"

I've got three books on the go, enjoying them all. Reread of an old favourite, Moving Pictures (#GNUTerryPratchett)- funny, of course, nice bits of details from real Hollywood history snuck in, and quite a few "oh yeah, Gaspode the Wonder Dog is from this one!" moments.
What If? 2 by Randall Munroe, brilliant stuff.
Ghost Hunters Adventure Club And The Secrets of the Grande Chateau, a spoof YA mystery, slight but fun. #AmReading #WhatchaReading @bookstodon

Re-watching the BBC "Terry Pratchett - Living With Alzheimer's" documentaries on YouTube. Gods, but I miss that man's wit, creativity, and acerbic tongue. *sobs a little bit* #GNUTerryPratchett

@bitflipped Could not agree more. Easy reading, deep social satire dressed up as wacky fantasy.
I miss his writing so much!
I started reading another book by Terry Pratchett from the Discworld series - 'The Truth'. I already like it, because in it, like in the previous one, dwarfs are involved in the plot, which I like very much!

LB: A friend of mine is in this, somewhat briefly, playing Elvis. Terry is in it as well, also briefly, in a scene with Neil where they play coppers.
It's a truly wonderful adaptation.

@Jinshei If you did tell me I don't remember so which book did you quote him in I suspect #GNUTerryPratchett may have been reincarnated as a #ChaosButterfly as he is still having an effect on #RoundWorld & long may it continue. βΌοΈ βΌοΈ

@Jinshei You are not alone in this.I am currently enjoying a complete #Discworld reread on what would have been #GNUTerryPratchett 75th spotting where later books were born as I go along as I have read them several times I think he even on occasions cut&pasted the line from the book it was born in to the book it spawned.But my memory is not so good to be absolutely sure but Hogswatch was mentioned several times before Hogfather&KoomValley many times before Thud. #TheTurtleMoves
