Monstrous Regiment – Terry Pratchett (Audiobook) – 22.03.24

I had so much fun in my younger days reading my way through the whole cannon of Terry Pratchett’s discworld novels – I own all of them in physical copies, but I’m seriously considering giving away all or most of my physical books, because I really don’t like the faff of actually having to hold a book and turn pages and have enough light to see by etc that comes with actual books, not to mention the fact that almost all the walls in all the rooms in my house are already lined with bookcases/shelves full of books. With this in mind, if any Pratchett discworld books come up in Audible or kindle sales I will snap them up with a view to having them all in digital form. (If I was rich I would just buy them all in a heartbeat!) So, that’s why I bought this on an Audible deal and had great enjoyment listening and reacquainting myself with Sir Terry’s wonderful wit and wisdom. Some slightly dated views but on the whole I think Terry Pratchett was way ahead of his time in terms of supporting all kinds of minority rights and embracing difference. This one covers war, empire, religion, feminism and equal rights for different magical species. Highly recommended.
