»Mija 10 lat od śmierci Terry’ego Pratchetta«
Trudno w to uwierzyć, ale to już dziesięć lat od momentu kiedy w wieku 66. lat sir Terry Pratchett chwycił Śmierć za rękę i podążył przez drzwi w mroczną pustynię położoną pod bezkresnym niebem.

@anji It is my secret comfort read.
To me it has the perfect mix of social commentary, comedy, character, and rural whimsy. I do like a bit of rural whimsy in my fantasy novels. Very few authors ever manage it properly though. #Pterry did.

I always think, of all #Pterry's books, #EqualRites would make the best #Ghibli movie. Yes, I actually do spend time thinking about this sort of thing. Yes, I do have many deep and complex emotional problems? Why do you ask?
you know that a book has finally succeeded in boring the bonce off you when you turn it down low so you can just let it ramble past and think of a more interesting story Yourself! Jeepers Hayley Marie! I've really tried to like this disc world book but, um, I failed! Second bust this week too. Meh! thannk God I can get my credits back! #EqualRites um, make that equal wrongs!
So I'm gettin on ok with this book. Ok, books that don't feature Rincewind haven't quite got that edge for me. I'll always like him best. But this one isn't too bad so far. #EqualRites
“Anyway, you walk wrong for #rain.”
“I beg your pardon?”
“You go all hunched up, you fight it, that's not the way. You should— well, move between the drops.” And, indeed, Granny seemed to be merely damp.

"They both savoured the strange warm glow of being much more ignorant than ordinary people, who were ignorant of only ordinary things."

"If a thing’s worth doing, it’s worth doing badly,” said Granny, fleeing into aphorisms, the last refuge of an adult under siege."

"It was long after midnight and the stars looked damp and chilly; the air was full of the busy silence of the night, which is created by hundreds of small furry things treading very carefully in the hope of finding dinner while avoiding being the main course."
— Terry Pratchett

"The storm walked around the hills on legs of lightning, shouting and grumbling."
— Terry Pratchett
#EqualRites
"She knew a cutting, incisive, withering and above all a self-evident answer existed. It was just that, to her extreme annoyance, she couldn't quite bring it to mind."
— Terry Pratchett

"squernt” (“the feeling upon finding that the previous occupant of the privy has used all the paper”)"

"There would be a price... But if you were worried about the price, then why were you in the shop?"
