Kind of a hard question to word, but is there anything in your life you have recommended to other people but no one’s ever gotten into?
I love podcasts and have friends who still thank me for getting them into this one or that one. But I’ve never gotten anyone to listen to My Brother, My Brother and Me. I don’t know if the name is unappealing or the concept but people seem to bounce off immediately.
So what can’t you get people into and why should we check it out?
Discworld by Terry Pratchett. It’s got something for just about everyone and I have a few avid readers in my family but they keep putting it off.
I’ve had similar problems. I think party of the issue is that, IMHO, the first two are amongst the weakest in the whole series and are less inspiring. I keep trying to tell my daughter to start with #3, but she hasn’t done it yet.
Start with Guards! Guards! And the Vimes cycle and then move on from there.
Seriously. If they don’t get hooked on Vimes, I don’t see them enjoying anything in the Discworld series.
I did read the first one and liked it a lot, I wanted to continue the series but other stuff gets in the way and recently I’ve been more into gaming than reading 😭
I finally took the dive in audiobook form about 2 weeks ago
Yesterday I finished The Light Fantastic in one day at work while listening
On equal rites rn and I now see that all of my favorite inline creators for the last 18 years have just been repackaging Pratchet
And I love it
