Terry Pratchett’s. Carpe Jugulum. (Full AudioBook)

Count Magpyr and family, vampires from Überwald, are invited to the naming of Magrat and King Verence's daughter, to be conducted by the Omnian priest, the Quite Reverend Mightily-Praiseworthy-Are-Ye-Who-Exalteth-Om 'Mightily' Oats, a recent graduate from theological college. During the party after the ceremony, Verence tells Nanny Ogg and Agnes Nitt that the Count has informed him that the Magpyr family intend to move into Lancre Castle and take over. Due to a type of hypnotism, everyone seems to consider this plan to be perfectly acceptable. Only the youngest witch, Agnes, and Mightily Oats seem able to resist the vampiric mind control, due to their being "in two minds about everything" (resulting from her Perdita persona, and his contemplation of the tenets of the myriad schismatic sects of Omnianism). Because of her ability to resist his influence, the Magpyr son, Vlad, is attracted to Agnes and makes many advances on her including trying to convince her to become a vampire. Meanwhile, the castle falconer Hodgesaargh goes out searching for a phoenix after discovering a phoenix feather.

If only allowed to have books by just 1 author for the whole of my life. Given the choice of every author there's ever been it would be Sir terry pratchett. I could read or listen to the discworld novels on a loop repeatedly forever and they'd still never get old or boring and I'd find something that sparks my imagination every time. What a wonderful genius ❤

[@michaelphilips8053]

Yep. It's Sir Terry, and it ain't close. I mean, I like Douglas Adam's almost as much, but he wasn't nearly as prolific.

[@tinybutmightycookie2518]

Oh yes, absolutely ! I couldn’t choose anyone else but our beloved Sir Terry Pratchett 💝

[@anti-popfpv4638]

So much lore has came from or rather been developed from his stories just as his stories took from other random lore. I like how you can tell he was influenced by Tolken and influenced Rowling with Harry Potter. He's the hilarious glue that holds magical thinking together. Just gotta add cartoon law and bam!

[@jonm7272]

​@@michaelphilips8053much as I love Douglas Adams, and respect his work, Terry Pratchett is in a whole different league. So much humanity and understanding in his characters. I totally agree with the original post, across all his works, all human life is there, simply superb.

[@seagecko]

Absolutely!!! I have been reading Terry Pratchett since I was ten. I have read them so many times. And listening to them read to me is so relaxing. Sometimes I don't have time to start a new book. These never get old.

[@ikitclaw3299]

Granny Weatherwax is my favourite character in any book I have ever read thanks for the upload 🎉😂

[@Loki-and-Thor]

1:23:09 The official naming of Magrat and Verence II of Lancre’s daughter as Princess Esmerelda Margaret Note Spelling of Lancre is one of my favourite scenes.

[@brazenhammer3307]

Never before in my life did I read or listen to a book series with so many good sayings in them

[@gohboy56]

Relistening to my favorites, that is, mostly narrations by Nigel Planer. Thanks again for these books written by our favorite genius Sir Terry. Wishing you a great 2024 🎉🎉🎉

[@AlisonNapier]

I love nigel planers narrations. He was definitely the best choice for the last continent. His rincewind alone would make a hit tv show like the young ones. It's amazing how many different voices he can do and remember them exactly throughout every book. He must really become the characters

[@bardsamok9221]

​@@AlisonNapierI completely agree. I wish I had the full collection. Some of them you can't even buy (or I can't find to buy).

[@user-xd7dk3oy3q]

Wonderful, funny & very, very entertaining👍Terry Prachet was one of a kind!❤️😍❤️

[@AlisonNapier]

I find him educational too in the sense of opening the. Mind to so many possibilities and offers ideas that would help people live in harmony on our own planet by accepting their differences instead of using them to divide us xx

[@tinybutmightycookie2518]

Thank you for another wonderful treat 😃! You are so generous sharing these with us ☺️!! Have a great day 🍪☕️🥛xxx

[@StoryTime1986.]

You’re very welcome ☺️

Night night❤✨💤

[@user-xd7dk3oy3q]

Absolutely agree!👍😃🤩

[@antonylawrence7266]

That one got me through Sunday night, again. Many thanks.

[@trudi-annburnside1223]

my favourite Sir Terry book, so I noticed quite a few "jumps" in the story? but still good listening

[@hadishstreet3066]

And still free too hahaha. I find that knowing Sir Pratchett's work so well that my brain fills in the blanks, either from memory as a result of pattern recognition, I'm not sure. I'm just so glad to be able to access these wonderful stories

[@StoryTime1986.]

Don’t worry I’m re doing the books there is a few I have re uploaded on the channel and plan on doing them all again and better audio!

[@victoriadiesattheend.8478]

Carpe Jugulum, after the Hogfather & Wyrd Sisters, is near my most favorite Pratchett book ever. Witches Abroad is wonderful too.

[@user-xd7dk3oy3q]

Really love the way Prachett ties up all loose ends at end of book! So many authors end it on a cleaver line. Could have been Granny saying ‘ you don’t live count you just don’t know you’re dead, get along with you!” But he resists that temptation to right wrongs, just brilliant✊❤️

[@TheRondog19871]

Thanks for putting these up, but this is the only one so far with constant skips.

[@caniscerulean]

Came to say the same. Very jolting

[@WhichDoctor1]

It’s a shame there are soo many snippets missing from this recording

[@reneed6954]

the skipping throughout are a bummer, this is such a good book too.... 😢

[@hadishstreet3066]

Still, as Nanny Ogg wod say, it's free though ain't it? Hahaha. I find that knowing Sir Pratchett's work so well that my brain fills in the blanks, either from memory as a result of pattern recognition, I'm not sure. I'm just so glad to be able to access these wonderful stories

[@joshualevine8345]

Wait Wait Wait, is this where the late KZbinr, Total Biscuit, got his name???

[@joshualevine8345]

It is!! So awesome!! RIP, he was a great commentator and well loved in the gaming community...

[@saltywench]

This is a very bad copy with omissions all over the place. It's hard to keep up so much is missing. But listen to it anyway, it's that good!
