I haven't thought about that comic in a long time, didn't realize it was still going even into 2020. Thanks for bringing back some memories.

Which of these voiced Zaheer, the coolest villain in Legend of Korra? Henry Rollins. Another typical Rollins W.
Oh, yeah, they have a reputation for being long. There are 14 books total I believe, and each is pretty long.

That said, I was able to read the first the books with an average speed of a book a week (though I spent a lot of the weekends to do so), so I wouldn't say they're crazy huge books.
If anyone is interested in Discworld for world building, then I'd recommend skipping the first few books. They were written before Terry Pratchett had a good grasp on the world and the characters. They can be worth coming back to later, but I definitely recommend not starting with them. "Wyrd Sisters" and "Guards! Guards!" are pretty good entry points.
Not the same guy, but I started reading it a few weeks ago and just finished the fourth book last night. It does a pretty good job at both world building and character development in my opinion (though it really shines across books). In my opinion, the first book does a good job of introducing new elements of the setting at a good pace, and uses it's characters who know little of the world to impart how special/rare some of the things are.
