      I’m reading the Tiffany Aching books right now, about to finish the whole 41 book discworld series and it’s absolutely unfair to say Discworld is an alternative to Harry Potter, it’s just so, so, so much better. Better universe, better writing, better characters - and better writer with better character.

        Terry’s books written under the shadow of the embuggerance are still far better written than anything by Rowling.

          Even if you read the books, they’ll still be there and the turtle will still move. GNU Terry Pratchett.

          I took my time too. The shepherds crown may be my favorite of his books. I’m sad there’s no more, but that just means I can read them all again whenever I need them. It’ll be ready for you when you’re ready for it.
