Just finished “I shall wear midnight”

Having been through them all, there is nothing I can say to disparage Pratchett, and it is very easy to see why people love him.

I can also see how these books fit so many different age groups. There’s a moment early in “I shall wear Midnight” where Tiffany Aching’s father has a conversation with her about the work she does:

Her father looked at her with a kind of proud puzzlement. ‘And you think that’s worth it, do you?’
‘Yes, Dad!’
‘Then I am proud of you, jiggit, you are doing a man’s job!’

Terry Pratchett. I Shall Wear Midnight (Kindle Locations 500-502). HarperCollins.

A teenager would read this book and pass over this line, but it flies off the page to me in glowing letters, for I too have a child of whom I am unspeakably proud.

it’s a little unfair that pratchett can play these emotions so easily and so well, but all we can hope for is that he has several more left in him.
