I’m a tremendous fan of the works of Terry Pratchett, and if I had to choose one series of his it would be the one he spent half his life writing, Discworld.

I was first recommended Discworld by my primary school librarian, I was a smart, clinically depressed child with a chronic pain condition. Terry made me laugh and laugh and laugh into the wee hours of the night.

His books have been a source of joy and solace for me ever since.

I cried the day he passed from this world.

GNU Terry Pratchett.

I love discworld too. I also cried when he died, to go from Alzheimers with such a incredible mind is some greek tragedy level stuff.
though his one on china aged poorly and reeks of orientalism

Is that “Interesting Times”? Yeah, that one did have lots of weird shit overall. Probably my least favorite too. Didn’t seem to have higher concepts throughout either. Most of them have some hilarious but good philosophical questions behind it, and that one just lacked it? I guess the first few also lacked it, but they were more fun still

I really like ASOIAF but i haven’t really engaged with it in a few years. I’ll return to the fandom when the new series drops.
