    I do, honestly believe that everyone should read the Discworld series, and be encouraged to learn about the bits they don't understand (this kind of video helps in that regard!).
    Anyone who knows the series already knows that I say this because you can learn such an incredible amount - even if your head is already in that kind of space - and have your eyes opened in ways that would benefit Mankind in small and large ways.
    The idea, ordinarily, of reading 41 books in order to learn a few lessons seems absurd at first, but this is Sir Terry Pratchett.
    I first read (The Fifth Elephant) a Discworld novel in 2014, and within three years, I had read every book then available three times each, and have read to the final and still have them all on my e-reader and get read often!
    Forty one books yes, but so absolutely rich, entertaining and informative that, rather than be a long reading slog, it is you thoroughly enjoying yourself for forty one books length of time!
    They changed my life and I believe they would change the lives of many people, most of whom would be people who are, or feel they are perhaps less fortunate, in whichever field of life that misfortune lies.
    Sir Terry was and is a genius and an inspiration.
