#Pratchett sketches a compelling account of the development of religion, beginning with โ€œsmall godsโ€ whispering to shepherds in the desert and competing with thousands of other minor deities for a simple altar made of stones, which they can trade up and up to a full-blown religion. You could meditate on the historical shift to monotheism by reading a weighty biography of Julian, the last non-Christian emperor. Or you could do it by reading Small Gods, which has jokes in it.(๐ŸŽ) https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/05/author-terry-pratchett-film/687253/?gift=cg1XdqsyWjCIPVWKLR2XU4N9AuyXhHVAQVe7i-abvJc #TerryPratchett #Books #book

I Am Begging You to Read Terry Pratchett

One of Englandโ€™s funniest writers is in danger of being lost to history.

Thief was art.

#Thief Gold was better than that.

Thief II was good enough, I guess, the best Thief sequel that ever was.

Black Parade, a fan mod, is the best Thief game there has ever been, by far. Seriously, if you liked Thief, go download Black Parade right now and feel so lucky such a thing could ever exist. #Pratchett loved Thief and so should you.

But also, here's the original article that set me off.

Agnes Nutter from Good Omens is Cassandra if she was born as a commoner. She was unimportant enough to fly under the radar, which gave her enough time to figure out how to get her prophecies to the right people.

Did I miss something? I'm reading "The Colour of Magic" wherein Twoflower shows up in Ankh Morpork unable to speak the local language, but can converse with Rincewind in another tongue.

Then, suddenly, Twoflower can converse with anyone in the story.

When did he learn to speak the (apparently) common tongue?

Four books ahead on my reading challenge, which feels like finding unexpected money in a coat pocket. Pratchett's Small Gods holds up beautifully. #reading #Pratchett
Currently: Velleman's Making Phonology Functional (excellent), Weir's Project Hail Mary (no comment).

Highly unimpressed with the #penguin print of a Terry #pratchett book I just boughtโ€ฆ halfway through the font changes to low-res! Amazing that something so basic can get past a quality check. @penguinbooksusa.bsky.social @rhi.bsky.social @terrypratchett.bsky.social http://penguinbooksusa.bsky.social
