@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"

Showbiz is rough in Ankh-Morpork; you could find yourself dead in an alley with sausages wrapped round your neck. Can Carrot crack the case of the murdered children’s entertainer?

#BookBeat got some of the new #TerryPratchett #audiobook narrations today! So started reading Wee Free men as my current light evening read :)

Both excited and aprehensive, as i really love the Stephen Briggs narrations <3

Who thinks this and where was he when he was thinking it?

“The whole of life is just like watching a click... Only it’s as though you always get in ten minutes after the big picture has started, and no one will tell you the plot, so you have to work it all out yourself from the clues.”

I've just finished re-reading Terry Pratchett's: The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents.
It turns out that I'd forgotten most of it since my original reading.
It is so much better than I remember. Suitable for younger readers, a great on-boarding point into the Discworld series and, most importantly, an example of what a great author Pratchett was and how ahead of his time he was with regards to acceptance and inclusively of those who are not like you.

"People who would not believe a High Priest if he said the sky was blue, and was able to produce signed affidavits to this effect from his white-haired old mother and three Vestal virgins, would trust just about anything whispered darkly behind their hand by a complete stranger in the pub."

Of course that was published in 1995. These days he would probably have added "... or on social media".

Today marks the beginning of World Alzheimer's Month. Sir Terry Pratchett was a patron of Alzheimer's Research UK and had a form of Alzheimer's himself. You can read a blog post he wrote about it here - https://www.alzheimersresearchuk.org/blog/terry-pratchett-on-dementia/

By a mere coincidence, I discovered that Spotify has a German audio dramatisation of Guards, Guards by #TerryPratchett!

Oh good, now I need to brush up on my long forgotten #German skills, in addition to Dutch on #Duolingo

Para ser honesto, en 21 días tan sólo he podido leer un poquito de nuestro amigo #TerryPratchett. Seguiré en cuanto me estabilice por aquí.
En cuanto a series, no he podido ver ninguna de las que tengo pendientes. #TheWitcher, #Silo, una que me han recomendado que se llama #From y otra que estoy esperando como «agua en mayo», #Ahsoka, que está por salir ya mismo.
