The Compleat Discography

So this one's a challenge, because it's an okay book with some cool things pterry noodles with but GOSH is there a lot of British Egyptology. We brought in our good friend Amr to help us talk about exactly what was disappointing, and then apologize profusely as we discover this was their first Discworld book.

Pros: Assassin's Guild is (mostly) good, there are some interesting explorations of myth and godhood. Cons: YIKES.

In which the cast gets comfy and the writing gets GREAT. Just let the Shakespeare references flow through you like scrumble.

Today is the Glorious 25th of May, and also for many people month mumblemumble of social distancing, so we thought we'd give you a special treat of all our silly goofs (at least the ones that Aaron saved once he figured out how).

Another Rincewind book, replete with sex jokes, uncomfortable orientalism, a magic war, the apocralypse, a return to slightly pissy Death. Is this the Rincewind Reichenbach Falls? Maybe. Some of us wish it was.

We tackle Mort, big dad energy, unpaid internships, and subtextual polycules.

In which we learn how a wizard is born, and what happens if it's not a boy; what witches do; wait, that guy was an apple tree?; Granny is bae; let's just remember that Esk is 8 years old here; which witch is which?; a very long journey for an 8 year old with a violent magic staff; Adventure! Excitement! Really Wild Stuff!; wizard/witch duel? wizard/witch duel!; the real magic was inside you all along. And it's gross in there.

In which we meet an octogenarian barbarian; Death is less of a jerk; is this the apocalypse? it seems early for this time of year; r/menwritingwomen is cited; [cries in tech support]; Aaron comes up with his quantum observer theory; hoo boy is the dungeon dimension creepy.

In which we land at the docks of Ankh-Morpork; The Tourist, The Luggage, and the Wizard?; who needs chapters anyway; Death is kind of a jerk; The Circumfence and hydrophobes; space, the final frontier.

In which we meet our four hosts; a brief discussion of the mission; an explanation of our road to this place; what you might expect next.

What at least three of you have been waiting for...
