I love Sir Terry Pratchett's work. The man is brilliant, insightful, and possesses a marvelous sense of humor. On the right side here on my blog, four of the icons below my profile are from his work: the Discworld (which travels through space supported by four elephants standing on the back of a giant turtle), Death playing guitar (from
Soul Music), the Librarian, and the Watch (from
Guards! Guards!).
To celebrate becoming a Knight, Sir Terry made himself a sword that includes thunderbolt iron (pieces of meteorite). Collected the ore, smelted it on his property,
made the sword!
Starting in on the many books in the Discworld series can be daunting. Here's my contribution to the many reading order lists. As a fan it's probably a requirement!
