One of my favorite Discworld books of all time, plus stories from the stage play we performed in my youth! Shakespeare, theatre, fools, headology, ghosts and destiny in the Disc!

Granny Weatherwax is one of the great creations of English literature. I wouldn't say I would die on this hill, but I would be prepared to suffer significant discomfort.

Wyrd Sisters is the proper start to the Witches series, and is also one of my favourites overall in Discworld. Your review brought back so many memories, must reread this soon.

That's so cool that you directed a stage production of this! Loved all the witchy quotes and discussion on memory, history, and truth! The love is shown in the lost covers of that mmpb!

Witches are my favorites. They have that effortless humor that I adore. The series is long but I always look forward to coming back to it!

Pratchett said we shouldn't be called Homo Sapiens, which means 'wise man' but rather Pan Narans, which would mean, Story telling chimpanzee. We'll believe a good narrative, wild and impossible, well before hard facts. The magic the witches play with is the magic our own belief provides.

This book is an absolute delight, every sentence is a pure perfection. I started rereading it this week and it was like the first time. 💜 And as a huge admirer of Shakespeare you can only imagine what kind of experience I've had with this book.

one of the things I love about Pratchett was his descriptions. where other writers try to put into your head what they want, or need you to see or imagine, Pratchett lets your imagination do all the work, you sorta paint in the details on your own. He writes in the same direction my mind wanders...where with other authors my mind sorta goes off roading lol.

Poor Tristan. To be called out so long after the fact. I agree it IS THAT GOOD! In a moment of kismet, Wyrd Sisters is my current audio book, and I just love it so much. There are scenes in this book that have randomly appeared to me in relation to real life, for years. Anytime I need to arrange a meeting, I think of Nanny's "I can do next Tuesday", every time I see soap flakes in the laundry aisle of the supermarket, mention of Shakespeare's Globe theater, hear people playing eye-spy.... Pratchett is wonderful.

Allen this video is so good, your impersonations, your passion and stories…I read Wyrd Sisters after watching your Guards! Guards! video with Dr. Chase. I enjoyed this story so much! My favorite part is the first time Granny attends a play!

This was my first Pratchett book. I picked up the book after seeing the "animated" movie on public television. One of my favourite books.

It's been an very busy week at work and so I'm tired. That said, the energy you bring to the video always perks me up, especially when it's a book where the 5-star strumpet strikes again! Thanks for the review!

I think I'll be reading the Witch books next in Discworld. I've read all the City Watch books and 2 of the Death books. I love Discworld. They're my palette cleansers.

Keep the disc world reviews coming Allen, eventually I will pick them after such great reviews. I feel like starting the disc world path after each of your reviews.

This was great! My next Discworld book will be Guards! Guards! or Pyramids. I've read Small Gods, Mort and Hogfather. This one sounds awesome to be honest lol. Great overview - your passion for Discworld is oozing!

I'm listening through all the books in publication order and I'm currently at Guards! Guards! Wyrd Sisters and Guards! Guards! are definitely my favourites so far, so I guess I should look forward to Hogfather if your tastes are to go by!

I can't believe you talked about how rarely the witches use real magic and didn't mention that we get to see them do some massive magic in this book 😱😄

Thanks to you, I am hooked on Discworld! I'm reading the books chronologically, but the Ankh Morpork Archives Volume 1 and 2 piqued my interest. Since there is hardly a susurrus regarding them, I would love to hear your opinion if you've had the opportunity to read them. Anyways, keep the Discworld videos coming, prithee!

I don't think I've read Wyrd Sisters since the 90's. I'm going to have to do a proper, whole Disc re-read, instead of just doing The Watch + Industrial Revolution.
