So, who here on /lit/ is a fan of Terry Pratchett?
Read his latest book yet?

Image related, this bad-ass motherfucker has a Duck and he knows how to use it.

My friends keep telling me to read his series. I need to, but there's just too much other stuff on my to-read list right now.

Maybe if the world ends and everyone dies, then I'll be able to get to it.

I am a fan. Haven't read his most recent book. Disowned everything post-Fifth Elephant. After that the Alzheimers got 'im.

he wrote The Fifth Elephant about 10 years ago, long before he was diagnosed. and all his books are up for torrenting if you're poor / cheap.
i can .rar my collection [all of his works but the latest, got them in PDF, some html, alongside hardbacks] if enough people ask for it.

keep in mind, Pratchett's works are very easy reads. You could rip through one in a few days.

Anyone could read a Discworld book in a few days. Any regular reader can knock one out everday.
Even my friend who is barely above illiterate reads them.

So, basically >1133540 has no excuse. Especially since they make nice distractions between books.

I'm about to tear into the Terry Pratchett torrent I downloaded.

Also, I'm stealing your duck man pic for a macro. TY

which book should i start with?

>> No.1133837

Try "Guards! Guards!" I have a soft spot for Vimes. Colour of Magic is a good start, too.
