#388: The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett (Discworld #1)

Hello, and welcome to the Legendarium Green Team, the weird little spinoff podcast where fans of the original show get together and talk about the books that we want to talk about.

Today I am, well, I'm Seeker, and today I have with me Little Red Book.

Hello.

And Tori from Cosmerecast.

Hi, Internet.

And We are now continuing our exploration of Terry Pratchett's work.

We finished the Gnome Trilogy, and now we've moved on to The Color of Magic.

So, what do we think of this book? It's the first book of Discworld.

The first book of Discworld.

It is the first book of

Discworld.

And I presume we're going to be covering these in publication order.

Yeah.

I don't know that we have a plan, but we'll find out.

I

don't know why we would have started with the first one if we weren't going to do that.

That was my thought, yes.

I was told I got to pick, and I wanted to start with a luggage.

Ah, a fan of the luggage.

Yes, made from sapient pear wood.

Indeed.

Whatever.

One thing I love about Pratchett is his bizarre names that actually don't sound weird when you say them.

It's like you break down sapient pear wood and it's like, what does that even mean? But when you say it, it's like, yeah, it makes perfect sense.

Especially when you meet the luggage.

Yes, exactly.

The best bodyguard any suitcase ever was.
