I’d seen a warning about not reading the article too. ION - Night Watch is published as a Penguin Classic in April 😀😀😀 (They’ve missed a trick by not going for the 25th May, mind….)

Raetomic Kitten 24 Jan 8:43am, 24 Jan 2025 12,460 posts	0 Raetomic Kitten I also think Nightwatch is one of the best. I got Sam to read it thinking it might convert him to Discworld books, but I didn't account for the fact that so much of its greatness relies on already knowing the characters, particularly Vimes.

He was complaining that a new pair was about £250 so I introduced him to the Samuel Vimes Boots Theory of Socio-economic Unfairness.

This is from David Tennant’s FB… 📌 The Terry Pratchett Estate has issued a statement regarding the Good Omens graphic novel adaptation, amid allegations of sexual assault against co-author Neil Gaiman. The project, funded by a Kickstarter campaign that raised over £2 million, will proceed without Gaiman receiving any proceeds. Gaiman has denied the allegations made by eight women. The statement says “Given the project management, production and all communication has always been under the jurisdiction of the estate on behalf of Good Omens at large, this will not fundamentally change the project itself, however we can confirm the Kickstarter and PledgeManager will now fully be an entity run by, and financially connected to, the Terry Pratchett Estate only." It goes on to add: "A number of tiers also come with author merchandise and books; we have been working on a system in the back end to remove or swap out particular rewards from tiers, should you wish to continue with the project, but not receive these specific items." The statement ends by saying: "Good Omens in all its forms is very special to us, and we know that for many fans the landscape has shifted. We appreciate the sensitivity of this issue, and will be working through all queries in the coming weeks. "We will continue on our journey with Crowley and Aziraphale, and all of our surrounding plans, in some form. Thank you for being part of the journey with us." The statement is signed by The Terry Pratchett Estate (Good Omens HQ) )
