Well, I think that's totally wrong and actively cuckoopants, but that's OK

[(Anonymous)]

As much as they are unpolished examples of Pratchett's writing, there is a vibrancy and joyful anarchy in them which he never quite recaptured in his better works.

I remember loving this book but I also can only barely remember the main character, soooo what's the deal on why people don't like it?

[(Anonymous)]

Agreed. It's not my favorite, but dangit, it's where it all began!

[(Anonymous)]

(I first read Colour of Magic when I grabbed a copy off my parents bookshelf when I was like, eight or something, and I did not understand flashbacks or frame-stories and I found it incredibly confusing. But glorious fun, too.)

[(Anonymous)]

I read them when they first came out and they were super fun! So maybe it's nostalgia and a general dislike for the adulation poured on the Watch books (they're ok but I hate Vimes), but I agree with OP.

[(Anonymous)]

It’s probably not my all-time favourite of the series, but it’s definitely up there.

[(Anonymous)]

I agree, I like it so much more than some of the later books. Most of the later books, if I'm honest.

[(Anonymous)]

It's unusual but I wouldn't exactly call it heresy. The Witches books are my favorites, but I love the many different flavors Discworld comes in. Colour of Magic is one of my rarer reread but still a joy to come back to.

Possibly more heretical - I stopped enjoying the books after Thud.

[malurette]

I'm with you OP. Counter-argument on the heresy: yes, but, if you begin with later books and try coming back to Colour of Magic after, then you risk being disappointed by the genre switch! so yes, by all means, do start at the beginning so you won't miss out.

[(Anonymous)]

There's a Pratchett reading order? I think the first one I read was The Last Continent and after that Soul Music and Maskerade.

Cosigning the screw you to Berman. It is an evergreen comment.

I would do this too -- it's an in-person tabletop game? Why would that even piss off an artist IF they knew? Nobody's making money off of that. It's not like you're printing t-shirts and pocketing the revenue.

So that means I don't get why you as an artist would be pissed off, either, since you'd never know.

What colourism/tokenism issues in season 1?

Yeah, while cowboy movies are still getting made, one just won an Oscar even, the type of cowboy movie they were satirizing in Blazing Saddles is full of tropes that are long dead.

Same. The last few years especially have just exhausted me on the whole idea of conspiracy theory nonsense in general, really, but yeah, with most celebrity deaths, there really isn't much "there" there. The simplest explanation is more often than not the one that's real. People have died from falling and hitting their heads, it's not like it's exactly an uncommon or unrealistic scenario.

Too many people nowadays take their armchair sleuthing way too seriously, and seem to fancy themselves these big, tough, badass investigators who'll weed out "the REAL truth". You're not Sherlock, guys, settle down and leave the investigative work to people who actually know what they're doing.
