        dalekcaan is 100% right. Sir Pterry’s early books are downright Adamsinian, and while his later books trade the silliness for sharp social commentary, the humor and wit never diminish.

          Where are you in your Discworld journey? Which is your favorite so far?

          I’m in Men at Arms, reading in release order. I have no favourite book (I rarely have favorites of any kind), I like most of them very much, though Pyramids, Faust Eric and Small Gods didn’t quite hit my taste. Also, Death is a hilariously relatable character.

        I’d definitely recommend it if you like Discworld. I personally feel like Hitchhikers Guide is to science fiction in many ways what Discworld is to fantasy.
