4:25:26 For those who are unaware, William the Gonagall is named after the real life poet William McGonagall. An incredibly great (bad) poet, who's work often reads like a rhyming newspaper article. The poem read here is very much like the real McGonagall's work.

Thank you. I met Mr Pratchett long ago (30 years ) with Mr Kirby at Forbidden planet for a book signing. He was a very gracious & sharp minded man.

This was the first book of the diskworld i ever listened to while growing up. I didnt have any actual parenting growing, no one ever paid attention to me or noticed I existed, but something about Terry Pratchett made me feel seen. I ended up being able to grow up and find a family who loves me, and I bonded deeply with my mother in law. Now im sitting her as she is slowly dying of dementia and the only reason i can be brave and stay with her wothout breaking down, even though my heart is breaking, is because of Terry Pratchett.

This is unexpectedly, one of my favourite discworld novels. I am not a lover of violence so a novel that details the violent and political nature of crime really surprised me with it's skillfully authored sense of justice. It is emotionally and morally moving, exciting and insightful. Praiseworthy indeed.

The idea that summer is a woman and winter is a man exists purely because women would rather wear light flowy dresses than long underwear and heavy sweaters. It's sad really.
@inezeatonАй бұрын
That’s how you perceive it? I think it has more to do with the rockin’ reproductive powers of women and men’s propensity to destruction. Also, I’m reminded of the identical gender roles applied to seasons which is at least centuries old but more likely millennia old. What is sad about that?
@finnmcool2Ай бұрын
@@inezeaton It was a joke, mostly on myself by seeming shallow. On the other hand, the traditional interpretation gets it all wrong as well. Winter is no more destructive than sleep. And women are only as reproductive as men.

Wee Free Men was my first Terry Pratchet book. I was hooked. Granny Aching remains my favourite character. She is an inspiration, as is Tiffany. Two philosophies, one from Granny, one from Tiffany, literally changed my life. They replaced trepidation with a fire in my belly. "Can I stop it?" (Not "Can anyone stop it?" or "Can we stop it?") and “Them as can do has to do for them as can't. And someone has to speak up for them as has no voices.” I've done a lot of political activism and public speaking at rallies and spent years helping Afghani refugees overseas. Both these philosophies never left my mind. I still have them both as personal creedos. I honestly don't know if I would have done it all had Terry not articulated, and cemented, what was merely brewing in my mind beforehand.

@@lydiasefton4780 well, it's on the Everand (audiobook subscription service) version. I checked to be sure and it is the exact same music and it's also a bit loud. This is one of my comfort reads (listen tos?, lol). I listen to it a lot and it's always had the music when I do. Maybe there are different versions? Idk. Is your version narrated by Stephen Briggs? I always found it a bit odd because this is the only Tiffany Aching book that has that music in it. I also just thought the OP was being a bit rude. The channel is providing an audiobook. I thought the whole "doing this for us or you?" was uncalled for.
