I have read all of the adult books set in Discworld multiple times (I have yet to read all of the young adult ones), and it is an unusual year when I do not listen or read some of these books in my spare time. It’s the series that I go back to at any time when I want something fun and familiar to enjoy. The Discworld series represents one of my ultimate comfort series of books.

The prevailing scholarly consensus places him in the 8th century BCE. ![]() Homer is considered to have been the first poet of the West. Because of the Iliad’s and the Odyssey’s popularity, orally transmitted accounts of historical events were gradually forgotten. Homer, who is considered the first poet of the Occident, picked up themes from this epic cycle and transformed them for his purposes. As a consequence, memories of the heroic age were initially passed down orally.
