![]() ![]() Pratchett's female characters can be described with a bunch of adjectives: powerful, interesting, ugly, fat, intelligent, old, beautiful, childish, smart, brave, foolhardy, innocent, conniving, and the list goes on. Pratchett's books are not your average high fantasy where women have zero personality, are just props for the male heroes, or whose standard outfit is busty and tits-forward. Now, I'll admit, this may not sound appealing to all ladies out there, but trust me, Pratchett is worth your time, even if you're not a geek. Like most of Pratchett's novels (there are more than 70 and I've read at least three quarters of them, #noshame), that book was set in Discworld, an alternate universe where the world is a flat round disc balanced atop four elephants that are riding a giant turtle through space. ( We'll miss you, Terry!) When I was about 12 and just getting into rock and pop-punk, my brother handed me Soul Music, one of Pratchett's books, which is about rock 'n' roll and literally involves rocks, music, and souls (as in actual souls, the kind that burn in hell and stuff). It's my brother's fault that I am a dyed in the wool Sir Terry Pratchett fan. ![]()
