Personally I really like the Moist Von Lipwig books. So you've got Going Postal, then Making Money, then Raising Steam (which isn't as good as the others)

Good books, but they have already predefined characters that were set up in previous books.
Like Golems and Angua, rather read their origins before.

edit: I would read them in publishing order. You get to see Pratchett's style evolving, from more fantasy trope turning on their head at the start, to just normal mind expanding introspectives in later books.

If you read Colour of Magic and go right to Night Watch it'd be such a whiplash, it's hard to believe it's even the same author. In fact both CoM and LF are extremely, extremely different to anything that comes after.
It must be weird to write some fantasy pastiches and then decide "I want to be a proper author" I guess.

He started in 83/84, in deep 'Douglas Adam humour' that was the popular style at the time.

I refuse to believe that even a single person solved this puzzle without following a guide or brute forcing the solution by trying every possible possibility in the game.

There's an easter egg that was so well hidden that it wasn't discovered until decades later.

I feel like at PMQs tomorrow Corbyn should just refer to Johnson as the member for Uxbridge and South Ruislip, since he's hardly even prime minister any more.

He should call him a EU plant, as he managed to get rid of more UK politicians in one day than the EU could in a new regulation.

UK politics is the best soap on British TV.

Soap chat.
My mum watched the three big ones (Eastenders, Coronation Street, Emmerdale) religiously for decades.
Now she has given these up for........Turkish and Mexican ones.
Netflix has put on a few complete soap series up around the world, and they are really entertaining.
They are bizarre though, they love the dramatic ending cliffhanger every episode but everything is fine the next day.
For example one main character 'dies' on a hospital bed, everything sad. Next episode, opening scene is him walking into the house all healed.
Better than junkie cockneys and sour faced northerners.

He needs to last another 70 something days to not be the shortest ever prime minister.
And its looking that he may be the first to lose all bills ever put forward.
