      I will never have an original thought in my life.

      Anyway, I’m on book 18 or so, 3rd pass, still finding jokes and references I missed. Calling it now, Discworld is the best fiction I’ve read in 40+ years.

        Sir Pratchett was a genius. He will continue to be missed.

        Also worth reading the books he co-wrote with Stephen Baxter.

          The first book is ok, but the rest of the series is pretty meh. Still bought and read them all as a Pratchett fan, but I wouldn’t recommend them to others. If you want to expand past the Discworld series, Good Omens is a much better recommendation. Also Nation is a really good book too.
