    Another Guardian interview

    ...of the books, what sort of a timescale are we looking at? Perhaps I need to clarify, how much time (in normal years) elapses from the Colour of magic right the way up to the present, Raising Steam? Im assuming its a relatively short amount of years, with a lot of the stories overlapping /...

    SPOILERS Going Postal Discussion *Spoilers*

    He pretty much got kicked out of UU as a student and didn't actually become a qualified wizard in the first books. There's also no mention of him wearing a hat in the first two books. Spoiler for Colour of Magic:

    SPOILERS Science of Discworld - Judgement Day *Spoilers*

    ...as I thought it would be? And the Discworld story, while not bad, was way too short compared the stories in the other books. I'll still say I enjoyed it, the defenestration bit was a special :lol: for me! I actually liked tying Roundworld into the universe again, as seen in Colour of...

    Continuity in Discworld Books.

    ...happens. It's just a bunch of riffs. So if there are continuity errors, big deal. Pterry probably had no idea when he was writing Colour of Magic that his series would someday be able to produce really profound works like Small Gods, Hogather and the best books in the Watch and Witches...

    ...search for all books by Terry Pratchett and the top three books in order were The Unadulterated Cat, I Shall Wear Midnight, and The Colour of Magic, all 890 or above. There were quite a few above 725, but also quite a few below. The Amazing Maurice came in as the easiest to read. I would...

    Which Discworld Book is the Best to Read for School?

    ...respectively custard-pie-throwing-humouresk books of the whole series (The Last Continent/The Colour of Magic), without much depth, without much sense (although I love the plot about the god of evolution in TLC)... Okay, The Colour of Magic you can say it was the first, the beginning, but I...

    Which Discworld Book is the Best to Read for School?

    ..."Lexile level" and apparently G!G! doesn't fit the bill. :violin: The book has to have a lexile of like 725 or over or something like that. I can't do basically any of the books I listed now, other than Making Money and The Last Continent.... or The Colour of Magic, which I own the e-book of.
