- Spoiler-free reading experience of Wintersmith, Discworld novel 35 by Sir Terry Pratchett.
This is my fifth DiscWorld Experience and I am beginning to get an idea of how I relate to this remarkable series.
Good morning! Pratchett's absurdity is the appealing factor for many of his fans. And, I know a few people who purchase their public personnas from Mr. Boffo - everything about them is an act. For me, I have to consume discworld books in very small bites. I don't think I'm up to reading the whole series. For now, I'm happy with the witches portion. I found the dialog in Equal Rites to be humorous. As always, thank you for sharing your reading journey!
The disjointedness is definitely a thing I find unenjoyable at times. Sometimes it makes the plot feel too convenient. But I like the absurdist humour. I think you’ll enjoy book 4 the most so far
It seems most fans appreciate the absurdism. Perhaps I'm just not a fan... Until book 4! But I do like the books.
I am also a publication order stickler. So far I've read Colour of Magic and Light Fantastic, and I'm looking forward to the series improving, as everyone says it does. I'm curious why you chose to read (only) the Tiffany Aching series all in a row.
I am reading Light Fantastic right now (together with the final book of The Wheel of Time). Tiffany Aching: no particular reason, other than that I picked up The Wee Free Men on a whim and had to continue on with this subseries.
@@DutchGreyBeard Gotcha. I wonder if we'll both stick with publication order, or be persuaded to finish up certain series (e.g. City Watch), as you are doing with Tiffany Aching. TBD!
A very measured review, there are definitely a few less absurd ones, Night Watch being the one that stands out the most along with maybe the next Tiffany book, I Shall Wear Midnight but the element is still there in most no matter the genre.
Thank you. Night Watch, nr.29. That'll be a while...
@@DutchGreyBeard haha, definitely.
As below, it's the absurdity that draws a lot of us bit not just that.
