#vendrediLecture, une pause dans la #sf on relis un #pratchett j'apprends en regardant le guide de lecture du disque monde (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annales_du_Disque-monde) que l'auteur conseillait de commencer par Sourcelerie. Bon j'ai relus les 4 premiers l'année dernière je saute Mortimer et je suis son conseil ce soir.

@Islandpiri Bestimmt verwandt mit THE LUGGAGE 😱

#Pratchett

He visto a una mujer en el metro leyendo a Terry Pratchett. A juzgar por la portada, se trataba de alguno de la saga de Mundodisco protagonizado por Rincewind.

No he querido seguir mirando por riesgo a parecer un maldito acosador.

#WritersCoffeeClub 13: What do you borrow from other fiction (or nonfiction!) genres?

From Terry #Pratchett, the explanatory footnotes.

From academia, the extensive citations.

From #TTRPG , a perspective on oral storytelling conventions that many "traditional" folklore researchers lack.

Wow
„You tell them a lie, and then when you don’t need it any more you tell them another lie and tell them they’re progressing along the road to wisdom. Then instead of laughing they follow you even more, hoping that at the heart of all the lies they’ll find the truth. And bit by bit they accept the unacceptable.“

I have just re-read The Fifth Elephant by #terrypratchett & was a bit embarrassed to say that on my first reading I had missed that a main feature of the story is a parody of the theft and return of the #Scottish Stone of Scone, aka Stone of Destiny, rendered by #Pratchett as the Scone of Stone. As in life & in the book, is the recovered stone/scone real or a fake, & more importantly does it actually matter? The symbolism is the thing.
