Bit unfair, because when compared to Terry Pratchett, just about everything else gets tossed to read more Pratchett. 😅
(not that I disagree, Pratchett is best)

Imagine if JK Rowling had even a 1/1000th the art and intuitive empathy Pratchett had for the world, there would be millions upon millions of people out there with a life long love on a series who didn’t feel betrayed and forced to make a choice between being part of a community that textually hates them or continuing to love their childhood nostalgia.

I just wish there was more media of the Discworld other than the books, a handful of movies and some games of the 90’s. It is such a big universe that has so much room for stories.

I’m sure the studios will get around to it and then we’ll get a million sequels. Maybe the estate owning the rights is not keen on authorizing works.

Yeah I don’t think his daughter is that hot on allowing a lot of people to do stuff with it. Last year’s animated Maurice movie was about the only thing in a long time, I think?

Can I just read Pratchett without fucking anyome? I’m ace and it’s just really smelly and uncomfortable.

You can read all the damn books you want and not even take your genitals out if you want, it’s all up to you!

You can, but you’re missing out. Getting to the climax of Guards! Guards! is really something else.
