@ColinTheMathmo @fullfathomfive "Witches Abroad" was the one, yes!

But no, thanks for the offer, but after two books of a given author I move on. There's a lot of stuff to read and limited time to read it.

Currently I'm working through books of Chinese minority folklore.

@zdl Totally fair enough. I'm attracted to TP because of the range, the play with language, and the cultural cross-references I keep discovering, but life is short, the galaxy of books is large, and choices must be made.

Whatever else happens, I hope you find joy in reading.

Cheers!

@ColinTheMathmo @zdl @fullfathomfive Pratchett books are much like a prog rock band's albums: early books are crammed full of amazing ideas, but it's lacking structure so badly, you have to put effort into just going with the flow. Later books show all the things he learned about structure, but they're building on a relatively small number of ideas. The middle period is excellent.

For thematically the same stuff as the main Witches parts, but a significantly more polished (if childlike)...
