Equal Rites (just a few out of a mountain, yes I'm just flipping through random pages and hopefully these don't have any spoilers)-

"He came walking through the thunderstorm and you could tell he was a wizard, partly because of the long cloak and carven staff but mainly because the raindrops were stopping several feet above his head, and steaming."

"'Your bees,' she went on, 'is your mead, your wax, your bee gum, your honey. A wonderful thing is your bee. Ruled by a queen, too,' she added with a touch of approval."

"The light of the Discworld was old and slow and heavy. From the cottage Granny watched as it drained off the mountains, flowing in golden rivers through the forest. Here and there it pooled in hollows until it faded and vanished."

"'It's all,' Granny paused, and dredged up her favorite word to describe all she despised in wizardry, '-jommetry.'"

"It was quite amazing that a stall so many people didn't know was there should be quite so popular." 

"Hilta laughed. Esk quite like the sound. Granny never laughed, she merely let the corners of her mouth turn up, but Hilta laughed like someone who had thought hard about Life and had seen the joke."

"Granny, meanwhile, was two streets away. She was also, by the standards of other people, lost. She would not see it like that. She knew where she was, it was just that everywhere else didn't."

"The average human, on the other hand, thinks about all sorts of things around the clock, on all sorts of levels, with interruptions from dozens of biological calendars and time-pieces. There's thoughts about to be said, and private thoughts, and real thoughts, and thoughts about thoughts, and a whole gamut of subconscious thoughts. To a telepath, the human head is a din. It is a railway terminus with all the Tannoys talking at once. It is a complete FM waveband - and some of those stations aren't reputable, they're outlawed pirates on forbidden seas who play late-night records with limbic lyrics."

"Gander considered that gnolls didn't look any better inside than out. He hated their guts."

"He was stupid, yes, in the particular way that clever people are stupid, and maybe he had all the tact of an avalanche and was as self-centered as a tornado, but it never would've occurred to him that children were important enough to be unkind to."

Hello! I've been hyperfixated on Discworld for several months, and I want to talk about it! The Wee Free Men and A Hat Full of Sky are what I started with, and I adore them, but my favorite subseries is the City Watch series (Guards! Guards!, Men at Arms, Feet of Clay, Jingo, The Fifth Elephant, Night Watch, Thud!, and Snuff) and I think my favorite book is Night Watch. I would love to talk to people about this, but I realize this is over a year old and I acknowledge that I'm probably just shouting into a void about this.

Hello! I am the void! Responding! Lol :) yess I'd love to talk about the Disc!! Right now I'm in the middle of reading The Color of Magic and while it's a bit sexist, as the Disc books often are, it's been AMAZING so far!!! Yesss I love the Tiffany Aching books---I can't believe that there once was a time when I hadn't yet read The Wee Free Men :00 and yet, there is my post above, proving the impossible :P wow I can't believe it's been over a year since I started reading the Disc books now... that's crazy :0 I still feel like they're a novelty, a new world that I just stepped into recently! I still have to read Guards, Guards; I Shall Wear Midnight, etc...

yay Discworld! I also love Tiffany Aching! I haven't read any of the City Watch but have been meaning to read Thud! and now it looks like I'm overusing exclamation points just because of that title-

I recently read In a Blink of the Screen which is a short story collection by him and I actually really liked it—it has the same hilarious satire lens and there were so many different stories which was cool.

"See how Cerebrus loves his Yummy-Doggy! Your dog can have that glossy coat, those glistening fangs, those three heads, if you feed him Yummy-Doggy! Yummy-Doggy in the handy two-ounce tin! Cerebrus says Yummy-Doggy is scr-r-rumptions! Ask for Yummy-Doggy!!" — In a Blink of the Screen

also apparently there's an Ankh-Morpork national anthem (We Can Rule You Wholesale). But what's special about this is a fair amount of it is singing "ner ner hner ner" to a melody to symbolize purposeful murmering when you don't know the words XD

hogfather is incredible, and essentially a formative influence on me. colour of magic is the only discworld book ive ever really disliked, but to be fair, it is clearly being written by a Young Man, and thereby has all the trappings that follow.

also uh death is basically my comfort character i love him so much. "And what if she cuts herself?" "That will be an important lesson."

uh forgot to add, sorry, most of the sexism in discworld is in the early books, and that's because it was intentional parody of sexist tropes in fantasy. not particularly good parody in my opinion, since it's too difficult to distinguish from actual sexism, but he was trying at least. good intent, but bad execution, so it's kind of a cold comfort :|
