Pratchett is a very special author! Though not my absolute favourite, he does manage to combine brilliant humour with an incredibly observant social satire and deep, likeable characters. BTW, if you like Pratchett, do you know the Discworld MUD? (http://discworld.starturtle.net/lpc/ http://discworld.starturtle.net/lpc/)
