well, they tried to warn humans but alas they were only able to make out

So long, and thanks for all the fish

They did warn one person: Wonko the Sane.

He’s probably my favorite character in all the books.

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.today 7 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I'd forgotten about him and his wife... might be time to read that series again. It's my all time favorite. I can't even tell you how many times i have read it or listened or watched! It's a story that came into my life at just the right time and I can honestly say it was a singular in helping me survive my childhood

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 8 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

It’s my Torah.

Discworld is my Talmud.

[–] PennyRoyal@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 hour ago

This is the way

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.today 5 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Discworld is my new obsession

Small Gods is so fucking good, I can't express how amazing in so many ways that book spoke to me. It's more biblical than anything else I have ever read

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

I am so excited for you! I’ve been through all of it at least twice but I’ll never forget my first time.

[–] BillibusMaximus@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I've heard so much great stuff about the series, but I've heard conflicting things about where to start.

If you were going to start over, never having read any of them, what would be your preferred order?

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 2 points 49 minutes ago

The way I came into it was reading them all in order. I’m told this is not the best way and that there are flow charts.

But I like this way because I got to see how Sir Pterry evolved as an author and I got to see them in somewhat disjointed order rather than going through individual characters or arcs.
