Description

I like things… I enjoy a lot of things but there are just some things I love beyond reason.

Discworld, one of the big three… I think it’s just three things I am literally monstrously unstable about… I am crazy about a lot more things but these three are special.
Sir Terry Pratchett’s Discworld book series.
I have been listening (am dyslexic) to them since around years 1999 -2000. I don’t draw as much discworld but it creeps in here and there. A meme or comic have been known to flutter about my gallery.

It’s different with Discworld. I rever it, I can never make the characters look as they do in my mind. It shaped me and is a sure sourse of parts of my humour.

When I see people sporting a disscworld tee or hear them talk about it I loose it. I just need to obsorb hese people and if nothing else I will talk to them.


In 2008 I made a comic about how I love Ariel from Disney’s The Little Mermaid.

Not a secret to anyone who has seen my Disney work and read my artist comments.

I also love Elfquest.

Those are the BIG three things. (People don’t count or we’d be here all day.)

"The Truth" is definitely one of the best books. I also love pretty much all the City Watch books. Sam Vimes is my top favorite literature character EVER!

I've only read Mort so far, it was a Christmas gift, and I LOVED IT. Like one of the best things I've read. I do plan on reading the rest, it's just finding the time.

Funnily enough the person who gave it to me wrote on the inside 'Imagine what it'd be like to have this job!?' And then I got up to the bit where Mort's mucking out the horse stable. At this point I decided the job wasn't for me. Too much horse shit.

Shame. I found my Mort book when tidying my bookshelf the other day, and I was sniffing the book and saying to my friend that it was the smell of quality literature and I was hugging it and she just looked at me all weird. She's not a reader. She blames it on 'I just don't have time'. Yet she has time for all the pampering and beauty type stuff she does so....

But yeah I was like this

Gaaah, this is me too. Especially since it's so RARE for me to run into people who like these books! (I'm an American teenager, and these books aren't really aimed at American teenagers.) I think there's only been about three times that I've happened to run into people who already knew about this series. And even then, nobody had read all forty books as many times as I have. Sigh...

I actually prefer the 'Witches" line of Sir Pratchett's books but like reading most of them. Rincewind bothers me a bit. He has the tendency to be whiny.

I remember when the original Elfquest comics were coming out and my parents had to buy them for me because the book-store in our town considered them to be r-x rated. Those old ones are gently and gingerly packed away and properly cared for. The reading copies are the big hard bounds....I should re-read them again. It's been more than awhile......good idea! thanks!

The witches are super awesome, they are my segnificant other's favourites too
Your parents are awesome mine didn't know about the sex stuff in them so I could read them to my heart's content. they were in the library even, in the comic section, which was in the same room with all the kiddie books. I'm just saying. There were a lot of volence in there too

riverotter7 In reply to Morloth88 [2014-03-09 12:47:56 +0000 UTC]

Yes indeed, the Trio or Foursome, do make me comfortable and I often take either the Witch Series or the off-shoot of the Tiffany Aching books. I laughed so hard at the first one! There's a hardback illustrated one out you can look for if you don't have it.

Yes, my Parent were awesome (my Mother is now deceased) and I am in my early 50's. They would buy me not only "Elfquest" but "Heavy Metal" and "Epic". That was the time when those comic were still good and didn't have as much soft core porn in them. I was just annoyed that some of them came out in 3 month schedules and some in two. I can read very quickly and a lot of my "monthly budget" was spent on either comics or books depending   but there was another thing my Parents never censored -- Library books. There were a couple of books that the librarian pointed out to them but they said if she wants to read them fine. I'm still patronising my Local Library. I figure my fines alone should keep them going!

In my own defence (though I hardly think I need one), the ones who started reading them in my family are my brother and father, who know them literally by the letter, hence the reason for falling apart. In our house, the Discworld books are the most quoted peaces of literature.

Yeah, I am... can't say the same for the people around us, my mum included. She didn't read the Disc books and just rools her eyes whenever we fight over them. Some time ago, my parents were cleaning the house and organizing the books and sending them to their owners. When it came to the Disc books, my mum said that the Prachett books, naturaly, go to my brother, to which my father and I shouted "No way!" and started arguing who those books belong to. My mother just rolled her eyes at us and said "Whatever, you figure it out."
