The 34th meetup of BBB happened on the 25th of October and we had a fun and spirited discussion as always! Some of these books Have been discussed before but that didn’t prevent us from exploring their existence from perspectives we hadn’t before - for e.g. translated works - Is there necessarily a possibility of the source and the translator having different levels of importance? Or do they play an equal role? There was also quite a lot of chatter about Pratchett :D But no meetup is complete without one, is it!?
