    The good thing about getting to the end is that you can start again from the beginning, and see them all differently with the foreknowledge of the whole thing.

      I sometimes have to remind myself they aren’t real people because I do feel proud of how far many of them have come.

      No matter who you are, you can probably find a character you can relate to that overcomes what has been holding them back.

        I’ve always had a soft spot for Rincewind, personally. The inveterate coward that gets shit done anyway just because no-one else seems to want to.

            Man, I generally object to film adaptations of books because they never get it right, but I would so love to see him taking control of the robot army in Interesting Times get put to film.

            And he invented Vegemite!

              I recently watch the Amazing Maurice adaptation, and that wasn’t bad. They skipped some of the piper stuff and everything about the green wobbly bit, but it was a good time overall.

              I would have no objection to seeing a good live action or animated Mad Hamish either, I love that guy.

                The adaptations of Hogfather and Going Postal were actually pretty good too. David Jason was sorely miscast as Rincewind, though. And Twoflower was written as a parody Japanese tourist, not American.

                I recall there was a Cohen The Barbarian short film put out some years ago that showed promise for a film adaptation of The Silver Horde that sadly never happened.

                  I’ve seen Hogfather twice, but I didn’t know there was a Going Postal adaptation, I will have to seek that out!
