bright moonanyone have a recommendation for a good book or series of books?
at the moment, feel like something historical fiction or non-fiction, fantasy, sci-fi or in any way generally thought provoking...
Khurram Wadee ✅@bright_moon The Disc World series?
@mkwadee I don't know why but for some reason I just never got into Terry Pratchett's books.
Are they worth it? I think i'll add them to the list too.
cheeeeers

@bright_moon To be perfectly honest, I read several of them in my late teens (a long time ago) but they are cleverly written and parody conventional fantasy books. Try The Colour of Magic to get you going, but then you go on to Mort or Wyrd Sisters, etc. You said you were interested in series and although the books are not sequential as such, they are set in the same universe and certain characters and themes recur. I would start at your local friendly library.
@mkwadee ok, i'll follow your advice/recommendation and start with The Colour of Magic. thanks for that
also, I would live in my local library if they allowed it but with work/study I haven't had the chance to read for pleasure in a long time. cannot wait to start again
@bright_moon It'll be interesting to see what you think.
@mkwadee it's never really interesting to see what i think as its usually a churning surge of unintelligible words with no logic or reason.
i know what you mean though, it's always interesting to see what others have thought of books you enjoyed or found thought provoking.
@bright_moon We used to discuss book and their themes to death back then but now a simple "I like it," or "It's not my cup of tea," suffices.
@mkwadee yeah, i get that too but I love listening to others discussing books.
i notice things then that maybe i didn't really focus on before or hear someone else's take on it. interesting

Bᴬᴿᴼᴺ Vᴼᴺ WᵁᴺᴰᴵᴮᴬᴿWas just talking about this author with @RunningInCircles. I never read any of his work either. Seems like a choice for a good zany distraction, though, if/when needed.
@wion I m a little ashamed to say I still haven't read one yet but I will before I'm back in college.
I'm trying to cram in lots of reading and everything else before studies become too intense.
