Search results for query: colour of magic

I was browsing the sci-fi fantasy section of Borders looking for a decent fantasy series that wasnt too "high fantasy" oriented. I stumbled across the Pratchett section and found the titles of the books to be rather interesting, and when I flipped open a couple to sample the prose, I enjoyed...

I'm expecting tears before bedtime in the first segment of Men at Arms. Vimes is showing his prejudices. Also, way back in The Colour of Magic some of the followers had a meltdown over calling something "ethnic", and that's the least of the terms used in the early parts of MAA.

Mary, Vetinari (as we've seen elsewhere) is awesome incarnate. He can do anything he wants to (within reason, of course). Of course none of us could foresee that he was the stoker. Vetinari (in "Night Watch"), remember? ;) The terrorist theme is one that Pterry has already touched on pretty...

...for the last few Discworld novels, "okay" is about how I'd describe them. I had no inclination to put it down half-way, unlike say Colour of Magic or Light Fantastic, which I find it a bit of an effort to get through. I thought Vetinari was out of character. (And it can't all have been...

...the raisindot school of thought that something went wrong with his writing style in the last few books. 5. If you didn't start with Colour of Magic, how easily did you find it to get into Discworld? Did you feel that some background knowledge was necessary? I found it all too easy, though...

...the other day. I'm thinking of reading all the Tiff books again before I go back to Shepherd's Crown. 5. If you didn't start with Colour of Magic, how easily did you find it to get into Discworld? Did you feel that some background knowledge was necessary? I found it very easy. I am not sure...

...for this guy. I half remembered his name, and I put his voice together with his role in Blackadder, and I certainly searched for "colour of magic tony robinson". It is quite a distinctive voice after all, and he sounds particularly similar to his roles in Blackadder 3-4 where the idiocy makes...

Tony Robinson read the abridged version of the Colour of Magic. http://www.audible.co.uk/pd/Sci-Fi-Fant ... 291&sr=1-3

...another way, even more insane than I think I am. I'm also not sure whether this is the optimal place to post this, but as it's the Colour of Magic thread, I can but hope, and thanks in advance for all the help that may yet come. IS THERE OR IS THERE NOT an audiobook of the colour of magic...

I heard to 15 books and realised that some of the books I did like more than the other. My personal favourites were Colour of magic, Guard! Guards! Small Gods and Thief of Time. During that time I didn't realised that there were two narrators, so I was kind of unbiased (except, I love Irish...

...Terry himself said that Josh put in so many little details from the books into the covers. For example, there's the very famous case of the cover for "The Colour of Magic", where Twoflower has four eyes - a reference to Twoflower being called "Foureyes", or maybe Josh simply misunderstood... ;)

...I was pretty happy after reading the first two Night's Watch books, I will continue with Feet Of Clay. 5. If you didn't start with Colour of Magic, how easily did you find it to get into Discworld? Did you feel that some background knowledge was necessary? No problems there. I just dived...

...and Strata aren't childrens book and while the Nome / Bromeliad books are ,I still really enjoyed them and think they are worth a read. The Johnny books are good but I think they're a bit dated now. Strata is interesting in that you see a proto discworld in it well before Colour of Magic...

...to read next? The Atlas, followed by The Shepherd's Crown. It'll be a bittersweet farewell...... :) :( 5. If you didn't start with Colour of Magic, how easily did you find it to get into Discworld? Did you feel that some background knowledge was necessary? Half-and-half. I started with...

...after finishing Going Postal, Making Money, and Nation. I intend on reading The Light Fantastic next. 5. If you didn't start with Colour of Magic, how easily did you find it to get into Discworld? Did you feel that some background knowledge was necessary? I feel that Going Postal was a...

I suspect it may have a lot to do with attitudes and how they have changed over the years since the first book. The Colour of Magic came out in 1983. Attitudes to casual racism were a lot more relaxed then. Things have changed, partly due to people realising that racism is stupid - especially...

...attempted infiltration of Moving Pictures, an early 20th century invention trying to take over a medieval-style world. Going from The Colour of Magic to Eric, the stories focus on medieval, medieval-esque, or even older civilizations in a fantasy setting, with their conventions getting...

Hello, I'm new here and I want to know more about the covers. Since you've mentioned this was a fairly comprehensive list, I was hoping that it will have all the information on one place (or at least most of it :) ), but the link is broken - do you know if there is a backup/mirror site that I...

...out. So I’d like to post this belated tribute to our favorite author. I’ve first found Discworld 20 years ago when I picked up The Colour of Magic in my college bookstore because of the bizarre and colorful cover— which is the reason why I love Josh Kirby’s illustrations (but Kidby’s too.)...

...to have a go. I first came across Terry's work just before the publication of The Light Fantastic, there was a serialisation of The Colour of Magic back in 1985 on a Radio 4 morning programme called Woman's Hour and the fifteen minute book reading was repeated in the evening which is how I...
