The Glorious 25th Of May - Blog Posts
I saw this on the day I finished Night Watch and...
It feels almost cathartic, in a way
Sir Terry has changed many lives, including mine, and I think he will continue to do so far into the future
It's an honor long deserved that he be added to this collection, and I hope this will give more people an opportunity to learn from his wit, humour, and everything else exemplified in his writing.
It feels odd, mourning a man I've never met, who died before I could have even dreamed of it, and yet I still do. Because stories are an immutable part of humanity and stories are timeless. We must rise up, march on, and continue singing, while remembering those who we're not singing with.
We have to use those emotions -the joy, the fear, the grief- to forge a new future
One Samuel Vimes would be proud of;
One Terry Pratchett would be proud of;
One we're proud of
So here's to Truth, Justice, Freedom, Reasonably Priced Love, and
a Hard Boiled Egg
GNU Sir Terry Pratchett
We are thrilled to announce that Sir Terry Pratchett’s NIGHT WATCH is set to become a Penguin Classic, publishing in April 2025.
As a rather new tumblr member I am still astonished which kinds of days this community commemorates/celebrates/comes up with. You learn something new along the way.
Even though I am an avid reader I haven´t peeked into one of these books yet (but I have heard about them), which might have to change in the future. And since I am always up for broadening my horizon and getting to know new authors and their work(s) both books are coming on my TBR-list. I just have to answer the question in which language I want to read them (first). Might start with german, since its my mother tongue. 🤔
Anyways to all who happen to have a special place in their hearts and minds for the may 25th: Have a good one! 🪻💜🥚
As Pratchett wrote once: „Do you not know that a man is not dead while his name is still spoken?“
Both men might not be alive anymore, but as long as their names are still spoken and their books are cherished, they might live on. TODAY IS A DAY TO REMEMBER THAT AND READ! Are you currently in between pages of one of those books?
Further notice: a towel, a certain color and/or lilacs are keyfigures today! Preparing for the upcoming one…
