Pratchett is so good and the further you go in the series the more wisdom there is.

Totally agree about non literary books!

Pratchett is the best! Discworld started as plain satire but with the Nightwatch series turned to sharp social commentary, Vimes' boots theory of poverty being the most easily quotable.

Which is your favourite book you've read, that you would consider "canon"?

Rohit Krishnan's avatar

Oh so many. To choose one is hard, but I'd say The Glass Bead Game.

Thanks, this is an interesting recommendation. Never went back to Hesse after reading Siddharth and not quite liking it.

Maybe this'll convert me!

It's not the most normal writing style but it is my favourite Hesse novel, even with its peccadilloes
