I firmly believe that all 14 year olds should surreptitiously be given Pratchett by someone that isn't a parent.
Especially if they live in a household where they have to hide it because it contains witches.
They are books that teach you how to think, even in the face of extreme authority.
This is my story. I would be a much worse person without having Pratchett books in my life.
One of the things I like about the fediverse is that there really does seem to be a higher proportion of Pratchett readers than in the general population

Half way up the wall?
After watching many youtube reaction channels I've come to a conclusion...
Suggesting Iron Maiden the next track for someone to listen to is like suggesting the first Discworld book for somebody to read.
* there's a *lot* of the buggers
* you can narrow it down based on the person's hobbies & interests
* people often stick to suggesting their own favourite
* ultimately there's very few wrong suggestions

| Die französische Übersetzung ist IMO sogar ein besseres Wortspiel.
| Leureduthé (Teatime)
| Leredouté (Teh-a-Ti-Meh, bedeutet aber eigentlich 'der Gefürchtete')
Das ist so ein guter Witz, dass der Übersetzer einen #Pterry bekommen sollte (einen literarischen Wortspielpreis, den ich gerade erfunden habe). (s t) #Discworld #Hogwatch #MrTeaTime
