What is this thread all about?
Just a place for general discussion. A place to unload whats on your mind and talk about anything - personal, health, help needed, achievements, daily highs and daily lows, theories, predictions and what have you.
Does not need to be Q related.
Sorry..did you really call Terry pratchett a frumpy old turd????che woulrchave had a good laugh at that!!
I only know how well read he was because I am ...I am sure lots of his readers don't get his messages...a bit like Q really. ..you have to know to know
Che? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Che_Guevara?
But ya he looks like every old career writer, uncomfortable in his own skin! But he seems to be atypical in other aspects; never content to finish a story apparently, especially a best selling fan favorite.
Much like that bastard who started to write the Wheel of Time, then expanded it, then took a break to finish some other books he was contracted to... then basically died and let some other prick finish his spaghetti incident... money makes the world go round, writers just regurgitate whatever the hell sells IMO. Its systemic really, no one to blame... hate the game not the player... ETC.
Is there a book or a series of books that you recommend, what messages do you feel are worthy of trying to find and understand? I mean I love fiction but Time is finite and the mountain of shit just keeps getting larger, ya mean?
Mmmm don't think you are in the right frame of mind...Terry dressed up to delight his fans and send himself up! perhaps British humour is too different to the American sense of humour....there wasn't anything he didnt poke fun at.
You know ..you might find say the Jewish religion where they cut a child's penis when he is a few days old and some old rabbi sucks the penis...you might say a perk of the job.....or satanic...or find it disgusting and an abuse of the child......but fail to see where perhaps your own religion has satanic seeming shit in it that you dismiss as faith etc like the Jews do to the penis sucking rabbi....do you see?
.Terry made you see religion as a whole piece if I can put it that way ..full of blood and killing..while making you laugh at the absurdity of it all
You seem lacking in the humour department?
teaching people while making them laugh and have them not even know the lesson they are learning seems to be something you can't relate to.by what you say
Terry's serious books were beyond me....
