What would L-Space Look in Roundworld?

· 6 Comments ·

A very important concept of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld is L-shape, short for Library space. Written words have power on the discworld, and to some extent on roundworld (aka: our world), too.

The library in Birmingham is an almost magical building, at least from the outside (I have, unfortunately, never been inside). I think L-space would fit in very nicely. Hint: It’s bigger on the inside, I’m told.

In case, you have missed it: My favourite author is Terry Pratchett, preferably with a splash of Neil Gaiman. Terry Pratchett was NOT a fan of Dr Who but there is this one connection.

Happy Hogswatch!

“IT’S THE EXPRESSION ON THEIR LITTLE FACES I LIKE, said the Hogfather.
“You mean sort of fear and awe and not knowing whether to laugh or cry or wet their pants?”
YES. NOW THAT IS WHAT I CALL BELIEF.”

Terry Pratchett, Hogfather

“It was nice to hear the voices of little children at play, provided you took care to be far enough away not to hear what they were actually saying.”

Terry Pratchett, Hogfather

“NO. YOU NEED TO BELIEVE IN THINGS THAT AREN’T TRUE. HOW ELSE CAN THEY BECOME?”

Terry Pratchett, Hogfather

Hogswatch is the winter holiday on the Discworld. There are certain similarities between our Santa and the Hogfather: He rides in a sleigh, drawn by boars, and distributes presents.

What Will the Future Hold?

“No one was badly hurt by the fire, but it went on for some hours, doing a fair amount of damage in the process.”

“The instigator of the fire lurked on a nearby hilltop and watched the blaze.  He was tall, thin, and a Duke of Hell.  It was the last thing that needed to be done before his return to the nether regions, and he had done it.”
