My eight year old found a Terry Pratchett book of mine on the shelf the other day. He is a little too young to read them today but I realized I get to enjoy Pratchett all over again through him.
- abstractbill 4mo agoMy 15 year old is devouring them right now. She pauses dozens of times every day to tell me the best jokes. I love it.
- ninalanyon 4mo agoWhat makes him too young to read them? You could point him at the children's books too such as Carpet People or the Tiffany Aching books.
- redwall_hp 4mo agoSince some people seem to have missed it: the final Discworld book, and Pratchett's deliberate "signing off," is the last Tiffany Aching book (The Shepherd's Crown), not Raising Steam. I can't really say much about the central theme without giving away a disc-shaking change to the world, because it's about that event and the next generation (Tiffany) carrying on. It's a very sad story, but also meant to be encouraging, and clearly intended to be his last book.
