I make an exception to my reading goal of no white men for Terry Pratchett. Listening to this audio book on the long drive down the South coast and back was a singular joy.

Sourcery was nominated by Pratchett himself as the best book to start with in the Discworld and I agree. It delivers on all the satirical, sensical humour which brings me back to Pratchett as well as the thought provoking subject matter.

If you haven’t read any Pratchett before, start here.

I was also delighted to be able to buy the audiobook from Google Play Books rather than starting yet another Audible license and giving Jeff Bezos more money.

One of the weaker pratchetts imo. It kinda dragged a little and I had to put it down and then pick it back up to get through it.
