I haven't read much of anything since I was in middle school, but recently I started reading the Discworld novels by Terry Pratchett and I'm loving them! I've always liked fantasy okay but I think Pratchett does a good job of balancing the satirical angle of the books with a strong emotional core.

I'm curious: has anyone else on the board read Discworld, or do you have other recommendations for light reading when I have free time?  :dive:

"Hell is other people. But that’s only that side of the coin. The other side, which no one seems to mention, is also “Heaven is each other.” … Hell is separateness, uncommunicability, self-centeredness, lust for power, for riches, for fame. Heaven, on the other hand, is very simple—and very hard: caring about your fellow beings." -Jean-Paul Sartre

I love Discworld! My favorites are the ones about the Watch and the Moist von Lipwig books.

If you also like sci-fi, I'd recommend The Murderbot Diaries. The first four books are novellas so they'd be good for light reading.

I've read some Discworld, but I'm hesitant to offer recommendations. My wife tells her friends that Clive Barker is my idea of light reading, and she's not exactly wrong. Still, I enjoyed Monkey King, which is Julia Lovell's abridged translation of Journey to the West for Penguin. I'm currently reading Cassiel's Servant by Jacqueline Carey, which is a retelling of Kushiel's Dart from a major supporting character in the latter novel set in a fantasy version of France where sex workers are almost holy.
