为什么值得读
- 情节极其滑稽搞笑
- 温情治愈且非常容易引起共鸣
- 无需提前了解角色即可阅读
在第二十八部 Discworld 小说中,Discworld 走向了战争。起初只是一个突如其来的奇怪念头……Polly Perks 不得不赶忙伪装成男孩。剪短头发、穿上裤子很容易,但学会当众放屁、打嗝以及像猿猴一样走路却花了不少时间……而现在她已经参军,去寻找她失踪的哥哥。但战争爆发了。战争总是在发生。Polly 和她的新兵战友们突然在毫无训练的情况下身陷战火中央,敌人正在搜捕他们。他们所能依靠的,只有全军最狡黠的中士,以及一个有着

……经典,甚至超经典,但要是现在的孩子们没从中悟出啥来,那就拉倒吧。书单上每加一本新书,就得拿掉一本旧书。我宁愿让孩子们看点他们能起共鸣的,比如 Terry Pratchett 的《Monstrous Regiment》。操,哪怕给他们看《哈利·波特》或者一本他妈的《光环》小说呢,只要孩子们真肯读就行。
…classic, beyond perhaps, but if kids today aren't learning from it then so long. For every new book that goes on the list, an old one is going to come off of it. I'd much rather see kids get something like Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett that they'll respond to. Fuck, give them Harry Potter or a goddamn Halo novel if the kids will actually read it.
我总是建议大家从《Guards! Guards!》开始入坑,因为我是城防警卫队的铁杆粉丝。不过因人而异,有时候我也会推荐《Small Gods》或者《Monstrous Regiment》。在 Reddit 对用户展露出恶意之后,我又开始重读碟形世界(Discworld)系列了。我觉得我心目中永远的挚爱应该一直会是《Thud!》吧。
I always tell people to start with Guards! Guards! because I'm a huge City Watch fanboy. But depending on the person I might recommend Small Gods or Monstrous Regiment instead. After reddit's hostility towards users became clear, I started reading Discworld books again. I think my all time favourite will always be Thud!
科幻也行吗?要是行的话,那就 Vernor Vinge 的《rainbows end》(能从他的网站上免费下载)。如果只看奇幻的话:Terry Pratchett 的《Monstrous Regiment》。
is sci-fi allowed as well? In that case "rainbows end" by Vernor Vinge (can be downloaded for free from his website) If just fantasy: "Monstrous regiment" by Terry Pratchett
……Lipwig 系列也相当赞,里面有很多人最爱的角色,但我觉着如果你熟悉世界观背景的话,读起来体验更棒。最后,我觉得一定要实名推荐一下《Monstrous Regiment》,简直搞笑得不行,特别是当你完全不认识里面的角色时看,而且极其治愈纯真。
…The Lipwig books are also quite excellent featuring a lot of most folks favorite characters but I think they work better if you're familiar with the setting. Lastly, I think a really good shout out is Monstrous Regiment which is absolutely hilarious, especially if you don't know the characters and just incredibly wholesome.
……《Pyramids》、《Small Gods》、《Wyrd Sisters》这几本能让你见识到他创作的真正广度。后面的作品可能原创性没那么稳定,但当你读到像《The Truth》、《Night Watch》和《Monstrous Regiment》这样的书时,真的全都是瑰宝。但千万别一本都不读,那可就太遗憾了。
…Pyramids, Small Gods, Wyrd Sisters are the ones where you'll discover the real breadth of what he does. Later books can be less consistently original, but when you get to books like The Truth, Night Watch and Monstrous Regiment, there are some real gems. But don't let yourself not read any of them. That would be a real shame.
真是令人无比难过的消息。这个帖子里好多人都推荐了他最棒的一些作品(《Small Gods》、《The Truth》、《Monstrous Regiment》),但还没人提到《Jingo》。它是对极端战争民族主义的绝妙讽刺,属于碟形世界里的“警卫队”系列,所以要是你读过之前的作品(《Guards! Guards!》,……
Incredibly sad news. Plenty of people on this thread have recommended some of his best books(Small Gods, The Truth, Monstrous Regiment) but nobody has brought up Jingo yet. It's a wonderful satire of extreme war nationalism, it's part of "The Watch" series of Discworld books so it helps if you've read the previous books ( Guards! Guards!,…
