RE: An evening of Pratchett

in #books6 days ago

Interesting! I hadn’t heard of Sir Terry Pratchett before, but after reading your post, I’m now curious about his works. If you have any book recommendations, I’d love to hear them.

I studied English Literature in the past, but my focus was mostly on classic authors like George Orwell, Mark Twain, and Jane Austen, etc . Still, it's always great to discover more English writers from recent decades.

Sort:  

Most of his books are set in the fantasy Discworld. Some of my favourites are Soul Music, Small Gods and Making Money. Most can be read out of sequence, but there are recurring characters. He has written standalone books like Nation and with Neil Gaiman he wrote Good Omens. Just see what you can find.

Awesome, I will check them out, thanks for recommendations.

Some of them have been filmed with mixed results. I need to watch some of those again.

I exactly checked it when I was reading your post, I thought that some of them might have a Harry Potter's movie style when I was checking its movies list. They Look interesting. I added them in my watch list.

It didn't get as big as HP, but they are interesting. There are some animations too. One recent adaptation was a TV series of the city watch as a sort of police drama, but a lot of fans didn't like it. They changed a lot of things that did not make much sense. Terry died before then, so he could not ask for changes.

Rip to Terry Pratchett, I understand those changes in movies mostly ruin the whole story, just like what they did to GOT.
