Wtf why did no one tell me he was so based?

We did many times. You just fell for chuds who don't read hating on fun and clever books.

Britain's most shoplifted author.

>Reddit, the author

>>24551570
Nah, reddit like much early internet culture was founded off an irreverant blend of pratchett and monty python memetics.
the modern result of reddit is very different

I read him when I get sick. Too cozy

>heckin' BASED!!!

>>24551349 (OP)
Got a few of his after years of not reading. Guards! Guards! Is on my list after Nuromencer

>>24551349 (OP)
he's overrated. how many times can "racism is bad" be an effective plot?

sometimes its's "women are just as good as men"

love when election tourists act like they know anything about 4chan

>The longer I live the more I appreciate Jews
>While everyone tries to save your soul, they are just relieved to discover that you have one
I admit I keked, but he is not a /pol/ friendly nor reddit friendly author. I was surprised he was popular with both

What's based about him?

>>24551349 (OP)
based how?

Reddit humor destroyed authors like Pratchett and Adams retroactively, it’s really amazing. People will post that fucking boots quote like it’s a political manifesto and have been for decades. I think Adams would invent time travel and unwrite the book if he had to experience all the “42!!! Lol!!!” jokes.

I've tried reading a couple of his books, didn't get the humor.

love how you'll kys because you're a 4trans poster who is envious of women that possess a functioning womb.

It’s ideal for like 10-18 year olds. After that you can’t get the same enjoyment out of them.

I wouldn't have found this man's shit genuinely funny even I had found it those ages.

I still enjoy nightwatch

>>24553425
Wow that’s really interesting anon. Do you put your own socks on too?

>>24553443
You get easily btfo about things, I can tell. Only someone who gets easily BTFO about inconquential shit would have interpreted that post as some form of "boast"

>>24551349 (OP)
I have a soft sport for him in spite of him being distilled reddit essence molded into a homunculus. But he really should have edited more. The first rincewind books were tight, but the guards, mort, and witch books really should have been single novels, not stretched out over multiple books.

>Pratchett.
>Monty Python.
>Adams
Which other once cherished writers and groups did reddit destroy?

>>24553413
Not using the reply so you can get the last word in has to be the faggiest thing on imageboards. You scared?

He used to be good back when he wrote nuclear power plant manuals. Then he went mainstream with those fucking gnome books.

Is he the OG footnote abuser?

I don't know why, but many Brits of his generation shared a smug attitude, a hateboner for religion (the obligatory metaphor of God as an "imaginary friend"; sarcasm towards Islam is very cautious), an unhealthy relationship with the BBC, a feminism that was both evidence of their weak masculinity and a perverse one (GAIMAN), staunch support for immigration, and generally every self-destructive view pushed by the elites as "smart people's thinking."

Say what you will, post as many memes as you can, even call me Brown, but for me, Terry was, is, and will always be the embodiment of both Reddit and his dystopian, dying country.

Nightwatch is a curious reflection of perhaps a regret for the loss of homogeneous communities.

And wasn't it more like: "I understand that you feel sentimental about what has been. Memories are a beautiful thing. After all, you still have each other! Now accept that 50% of your neighborhood is Pakistani immigrants, 30% is Eastern European, 10% is you... and ten, hohohoho!, Scots, because they are immigrants too in England (I'm so clever)!

>an unhealthy relationship with the BBC
Until it was bought by Israel.
>a feminism that was both evidence of their weak masculinity
Male homosexuality is a tradition in Britain.
>staunch support for immigration
kek, even Reform admits that they need more foreign carers.
