Small Gods

November 1, 2025

Final Thoughts Another busy one but this was a really interesting book honing in on Pterry’s idea of faith as an energy source for gods. Really funny, although Vorbis has a mine nobody would want to vacation in. Poor Brother Nhumrod, hopefully he finds a nice lad or lass to settle down with. This is …read more.

Witches Abroad

July 1, 2025

Final Thoughts This one came at a very busy time so there was less discussion, regardless this was a fantastic book. So many complex themes and wonderful characters, so much magic, and absolutely hysterical at times. This is, easily, an S-Tier Pterry book. Summary Quotes References

Reaper Man

June 1, 2025

Final Thoughts I’d forgotten how good this book is, it’s not one that has a natural place in the Discworld like some of the others. Death going missing is a recurring theme, it’s one PTerry really likes and it’s even in both video games, but this is the originator. Lots of really big Discworld details …read more.

Moving Pictures

May 17, 2025

Final Thoughts This was a fantastic book, really funny, very sharp parody. This one falls more into the category of genre parody rather than specific parody but mainly because there was just so much. The references were thick and fast, the characters compelling, and we’re now seeing the final form of a lot more of …read more.

Eric

March 31, 2025

This is embarrassing – due to real life events I didn’t get a chance to write any notes or thoughts about Eric! But I did read it! I also didn’t attend the book club!! Oh no! So this is a placeholder and might be updated later. Oops! Final thoughts Surprisingly short, reads very quickly. We’re …read more.

Guards! Guards!

February 28, 2025

Final thoughts Fucking awesome, best one yet, such a big step up in quality I can remember why people recommend starting here not colour of magic. He’s so into his stride, the plot is tight and packed with jokes and ideas, the characters are all who they will be, just spot on. This is an …read more.

Pyramids

December 31, 2024

Final thoughts A good book, the characters didn’t stick as hard but some wonderful glimpses at the assassins guild. camels are hilarious, and the armies were brilliant. The score is (brace yourselves) 3 Ptaclusp IIa’s & 2 Ptaclusp IIb’s out of 5! This is an A-tier Pterry book! Favourite quotes Thoughts during reading

Wyrd Sisters

November 30, 2024

Final thoughts Reads a little differently to the other books. this is almost a more traditional book with a couple of plots and less bouncing around. so much lampooning of the play that shall not be named of course, but what we know of granny is dialled up here. witches really just do what they …read more.

Sorcery

September 30, 2024

Final thoughts So much happened, lots of interesting themes. The idea of powerful magic being too powerful, but also all of it was partly out of love and mainly out of hubris of one wizard. The score is 4.08 Archchancellor’s Hats out of 5! (it’s starting to get silly….) This is a B-tier Pterry book! …read more.

Mort

August 31, 2024

Final thoughts A very funny book, we’re now dealing with another new set of characters. We see a lot more about the Death who’s been haunting Rincewind, and the fourth-wall breaking is off the scale! The score is 4.9 Gordon Ramsey’s out of Five (the joke is that during the scene where Death is working …read more.
