Taking a break from my in-order Discworld reviews to talk about the
newest one.
After much concentration on the Watch, Terry tries to recapture some of
the slightly older characters and dynamics that populated the books in
the middle of the series. _Unseen Academicals_ is very funny, witty, and

Now that I think about it, that makes quite a lot of books written in

It would be 23 years if I had entered the date correctly. Actually
The Colour of Magic was published in 1983, so 26 was correct.

But, in any case, Woo-hoo!

Thank you for posting that. As always, slightly choked about his
embuggerance. However, I do like that he actually answered the
question about the hat, and where to get your own!

_Small Gods_ is a departure for Terry Pratchett. The result is probably
his most significant and certainly one of his most philosophical novels,

(About "Witches Abroad")

Probably worth a watch if you can get hold of a copy.

I believe there is an animated miniseries of this book (like Soul
Music). Is it good? Worth getting? Or should I just Netflix it?

Yes, I agree it was a great novel and one of Pterry's best, but what
ever did happen to Pteppic I wonder - he was one of my favourite
characters!!
