You'll find videos about reading, writing, and adventuring. I'll create video story reviews, document my travels, and give advice on writing anything from novels to tabletop campaigns.
🧬 | About T. L. Bainter | 🧬
I am a writer who has received three Honorable Mentions from the renowned, international "Writers of the Future" competition for my short stories "Edwin", "Beneath Magenta Rain", and "The Ansleigh Arc", with the latter two being available for Kingle eReaders. After receiving the award for "Edwin", I went on to publish "How I Ruined My Life", a contemporary novel that is currently being rewritten.
I live in Kansas City with my cat, Sooba, but enjoy adventuring far beyond my city's limits.

had to laugh - I presume it's meant to be bollocks. Discworld is a brilliant invention, unlike 'T.L. is Reading' - another one of history's footnotes
I grew up with the books, and read them in chronologic order. Who knew I was wrong for all these years. I'm on his side!
If you haven't mastered putting a thumb in to hold your place, you shouldn't be reading at all. . . . . See‽ I can be "satirical" too
I'll LET YOU LIVE. FOR NOW.
I recommend reading “The Beginning After The End” its has some of my Favorite storytelling with magic, with both a hard and hybrid magic system
Also, um, misleading titles. Like, the book is called Souls Music, when, in reality, it is about Rock music. The sheer AUDACITY to trick people who like the Soul genre into buying your books!!😒
You admitting that you're a fan of Sir Pratchett spoiled the video :D
While watching this I was like “is this some sort of joke?!?!” Then I saw SpongeBob and was like “this is some sort of joke?!?!”
You made me pause on your eyebrow, you jerk!
I have not read anything by Pratchett, though I have seen TV productions that I like. Perhaps, since told not to do so, I will get a book to read. (Take THAT, you critic!) Meanwhile, I would love to give a plug for Jane Austen. She got places by walking or by carriage, not broomsticks; there are no dragons in her neighborhood; and like ours, her world was round. However, she MUST be the original writer "about nothing" --- nothings that are page turners! She died way too young. There is also Douglas Adams, a writer who helped me through chemotherapy and radiation. He may not have written 33 books, but I love the ones he did write. He died way too young. Pratchett died too soon and Shakespeare was only in his 50s - hey! Maybe writing is far more dangerous that I ever realized. (Happily, I am not a writer!) Then there is Ursula K Le Guin. Thank the Good Omens that she lived to be 88 and produce so much great reading for us. She must have been very lucky to side-step Death. But perhaps he was a fan and wanted to read what came next. The local library has her in the "Young Adults" section, which is fine so long as they mean 12 - 100! Is there a sci-fi work more lyrical and profound than "The Left Hand of Darkness"? I don't think so.
[puts down the Discworld book being read, clears throat] I always enjoy a good bit of humor. Sir Terry would be chuckling. [picks up the Discworld book, looks confused] Now, where was I ...
The only book better than the Discworld series is "Good Omens" (also with Terry Pratchett as coauthor) - same humor. Mark Twain would have read the whole series I'm sure. In addition I fell in love with Lord Havelock Veternari - the most adorable, funny, cynical Medici in existence.
*UPDATE* I am still working on filming and hope to be done this Sunday, weather permitting (I have some outside stuff I want to do for this one). Also, I'm having to do Premiere Pro tutorials again because I don't remember what I'm doing. Whoops.
Oook !
That's going too far: Discworld is a very rich and humorous universe. You may have had a good reason for making this video in the first place, but... as a well-known writer once said: Once you had a good excuse, you open the door to bad ones.
Terry Pratchett is not Jane Austen. I totally lost it at that point😂
Haha I'm glad you appreciated that--this entire video was originally inspired by an article that _wasn't_ a joke I found that was basically saying that Terry Pratchett was a bad writer because he wasn't Jane Austen
Ich glaube ich habe alle Scheibenwelt Romane gelesen. Und, Überraschung, ich habe überlebt. Bin jetzt aber nicht sicher, ob ich den "Lange Erde" Zyklus noch weiter lesen soll. Ich bin nicht mehr der jüngste und da steigt das Risiko doch schon beträchtlich😂😂😂😂.
You didn’t mention rincewind whatsoever
Wee free men audiobook is how I started. It is good. Lords and ladies to follow then back to the hat.
TERRY PRATCHETT IS AND WAS A GREATEST AUTHOR MY DAD AND I HAVE EVER READ
Haha I loved your April Fool's joke
Funny but a clickbait title for sure😂
ngl I was about to absolutely shit on this video but then I thought critically for a seconds and watched past the first 15 seconds
SQUEAK
Love this. Last point, Best point.
Reason 1 through 10 - if you are emotionally impaired, like lobotomized or a sociopath. Otherwise - enjoy!
Very sad fellow? no, just a very rude child
7:56 is this a reference to that one newspaper article that came out it after his death where a critic claimed Sir Pterry wasn’t a literary genius, started the article saying he’d never read one of his books and never planned on it and then went on to praise an Austen Novel and say it was “true literature”?
The Tiffany Aching books are aimed at young adults, but are perfectly good for older adults. The other Discworld novels and associated literature are hilarious and so clever you can read them multiple times and see different jokes every time
I un ironically like your grandma sweater
Clickbaits are banned. Reported.
It was an April fool's joke
Videos like this are why American Liberal Arts graduates should NEVER be allowed to use the internet. Also, Reading Age 14 is automatically higher than the reading age for most tabloid newspapers, and the majority of American Liberal Arts graduates.
I didn't think it was possible but I too now have something negative to say about Discworld as well. Discworld led me to watch at least part of this video. Minutes of my life I will never get back.
Nanny Ogg and her humorous wisdom, the Nacmacfeegles, Tiffany Aching, they’re my comfort and like a warm bedtime drink for me. I wish I’d started reading Discoworld earlier, but it’s gotten me back into my love of books & Terry Pratchett inspired art that’s helped me through some really tough times in life. ❤
Who is this idiot.? Obviously he can't read
I can not take this video and in conclusion your person serious. I just hope u are kidding OR get the help that you need. I wish you speed recovery.
Dislike and unrecommend.
lol, this was hilarious
Welcome back. Congratulations on writing the next episode. Looking forward to seeing what's next!
Thank you! Glad you're still around here; I really enjoyed your Pyramids commentary! Hope to get this one filmed and edited soon~
I bought most of the Discworld novels in hardback as they were published. Pratchett's writing began to read more and more like fan fiction after UNSEEN ACADEMICALS . I understand he had a progressive brain disease, but sympathy doesn't now make his last couple of years of writing better.
So good to see you back.
Thank you! It's exciting to get back to it
Hope you’re doing well. Glad you’re back
Thanks! I'm doing much better and am excited to dive back into this!
You are a funny man that has no idea about people. Sounds like you’re knocking any author that has a poplar following. I guess your books are rated very low and not very good
How anybody can be that stupid?😂
I went straight to the end, didn't want to have to track you down and twist you until you saw the light. Figured it was likely a joke. You're safe. As I near Sir Terry's age, I am still rereading them, they bring great comfort when the pain comes.
crap
why listen to someone who dies their beard. and wears a girly chain outside their sweater what a dork, 1. don't study anything - same logic.
Congratulations! Your click bait worked, so your channel is now blocked.
My nephew was still in preschool when sister dear started reading Discworld to him. He did need lots of secondary talk and explanations, but he loves it. And now as a teen has read them several times each.
I will keep my fingers crossed for many years time to reread the books until you run out of time. Our Pterry reading and needlework group on Ravelry made a resemblance of the Pratchghan for one of our members who had been diagnosed with something malignant in the nineties. She is still running strong, and loves her group hug. Ever since this first Pratchghan replica was made, whenever one of ours had a rough time, we as a group would each make another discworld themed square and sewn together with love, the poorly person would receive the Pratchghan sibling in the mail as a group hug from all of us. When I had my own touch of malignancy in 2020, the group sent me my group hug. Our reading group will continue this tradition and since we will most likely have read all the material that is in print, we happily reread and share our a ha moments of punes, we still rediscover. I have passed on the love for Discworld to my two nephews who are bookworms, so when DEATH picks me up for my walk through the desert, they will inherit my book collection. So for as long as I can, I will just go borrowing, and wear my piece of cardboard with the words " I still ate'nt dead" on it :) it is only a matter of time, until we meet him, so we can make the best of it till then. Live and read on.
