I’ve read maybe a quarter of the Discworld novels (started randomly, got to Lords and Ladies and realized maybe I should go in order – that slowed me down) and really enjoy them. Thanks for the review.
And on a side note, Pratchett is one of those people that I look at and realize when I’m complaining about my minor issues in life. Here’s a guy who’s busted out 40 novels in just the Discworld series, and a bunch of other stuff, then keeps going when he gets a rare version of Alzheimers. I’m crabby because I had to get up early today.
Hats off to him, and if this is the last Discworld novel (or any Pratchett novel for that matter), 40’s a good number to stand on. Unless he of course hits 42 as a nod to Douglass Adams, but seriously, I’m not so selfish that I won’t let the poor guy take a rest.
