Mort illustrations by Omar Rayyan for The Folio Society

I like them a lot. They are beautiful and convey the atmosphere and tone of the book perfectly. Loose enough to leave room for the imagination, and still faithful to the text. I wish he illustrated more Discworld.

“Uhh, s-sure?”

hey guys can you take care of this thing while i'm gone. he's had a rough day.

It has been said before but it bears repeating: if you are struggling to divest yourself of the Harry Potter franchise, may I suggest getting into Discworld, not as a replacement but as an UPGRADE? Perks of Discworld include, but are not limited to:

-41 books (no, you don’t have to read them in any given order, most work as standalone although there are some that are arguably part of a series)

-specifically British charm

-magic (including different systems of magic and not just one poorly explained type)

-funny af

-author isn’t a transphobic POS

-golems (including an arguably transgender golem named Gladys)

-EXTREMELY expansive world building that takes place over a long time, covering different populations, the Industrial Revolution, magical AND non-magical groups, and even a whole section of “science” books which discuss the physics, biology, and so on

-well-written female characters

-nuanced moral messages

-death is a cat person

ta mort est montée haut dans le ciel, elle a brillé et puis elle est redescendue nous rencontrer ; elle nous a parlé de toi, de ton retour ; elle a étendu son bras sur nous ; elle nous a proposé une assise ; elle nous a projeté ton visage et puis elle s’en est allée provisoirement et pour toujours, nous vidant de notre peine ; la mort de la jeunesse est faites de légèretés incroyables qui lui permettent de voler comme un oiseau de printemps, qui lui permettent de sourire

I can't believe we have been living in this world without Sir Terry for 10 years already 💔
