Drunk Book Club: The Colo(u)r of Magic

Published: April 2, 2018, 8:40 p.m.

b'Terry Pratchett is one of the most influential and fondly remembered fantasy authors in the English language, with good reason. That\'s why we set out to read his worst book, to prove that sometimes really good authors flower from really terrible novels. \\n\\nOr, there is a very good reason why the first piece of advice Discworld fans give is "don\'t start with the first book." \\n\\nStrap in for a parody that only works if you have an encyclopedic knowledge of fantasy novels from the 80s, and even then it\'s touch and go. With special guest appearances by the astonishing amount of bullshit in Anne McCaffrey novels. \\n\\nCONTENT WARNING for discussion of sexual assault\\n\\n1:00 Inroads to Pratchett, and Gaiman\\n6:30 Seriously the Later Books Thouggh\\n9:00 The Real World Drunk Book Club\\n17:00 Uncanny Valley Ankh-Morpork\\n23:00 Rincewind and Twoflower\\n31:00 Conan of Argon\\n38:00 Tent Peg Dragons\\n46:00 Something with Space\\n52:00 Editing Issues\\n\\nSay hi to Dorothy and Vrai on Twitter @writervrai and @dorothynotgale\\n\\nJoin us every two weeks on Soundcloud, iTunes or Stitcher \\u2013 and if you\\u2019d leave a rating and review, so that more people can find their way to us, we\\u2019d appreciate it!'
