I have started Discworld.

And I must say. Pratchett is a genius. He lulls you into a false sense of security, thinking "oh ok this is just same lame archetypal fantasy book, how overhyped was that" and then BAM here comes the hilarity and subtle trickery. Turtle sex hasn't been funnier.

Maybe the feel of the thing can be summed up by this extract. "It was all very well going on about prue logic and how the universe was ruled by logic and the harmony of numbers, but the plain fact of the matter was that the disc was manifestly traversing space on the back of a giant turtle and the gods had a habit of going round to atheists' houses and smashing their windows."

Even when he doesnt write certain things, it's funny. GAHGAHGHAEHGAHEGHAEGH go read
