It's a bit "Deprtament of the Bleeding Obvious" but....

The Light Fantatstic:- Blinded by the Light, Manfred Mann's Earth Band (not Springsteen as #pterry would be more familiar with the version which charted in the UK)

Soul Music:- There's a Guy Works Down the Chip Shop Swears He's Elvis, Kirsty MacColl

Last Continent:- Down Under, Men at Work

Hogfather:- I Believe in Father Christmas, Greg Lake

Interesting Times:- Search for the Hero, M People (Could also work for The Last Hero but seems more appropriate here.)

Sir #Pterry is one of the few authors who have written sequel after sequel after sequel, and the books get better and better and better.

Collecting a pile of #Pterry books tomorrow
Perhaps I'll finally get into Discworld! I started many years ago and stopped after two.

@juergen_hubert Terry Pratchett must have heard this story. He used something similar in one book, except that, being #Pterry, there was only one stone.

I just realised that I can sum up my philosophy on behaviour by paraphrasing Granny Weatherwax:

Don't treat people as things.

It's that simple.

What a gift to all of us! A gift to myself tonight, lay down on my warm bed with a comfy sweater and pillows, stretch out and really listen to long agos I really miss and am glad to visit again. #SirTerry #PTerry #Prachett #Discworld #Thud #Snuff https://allovertheplace.ca/@mcourcel/116242190012219796

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
