And It's Goodnight From Me - Discworld

Discworld is a satirical fantasy series by Terry Pratchett. "The Lord of the Rings" meets "The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy" is quoted on the back cover blurb of "The Colour of Magic". I am a huge fan of the world travelling through space supported on four giant elephants stood on the back of Great a'Tuin. From the beginning I was grabbed by the hapless 'wizzard' Rincewind and his travelling companion Twoflowers. Indeed there is a similarity between these two and Ford Prefect and Arthur Dent from "The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy". Then there is the Luggage which is seemingly infinite in how much it can contain much like Dr. Who's TARDIS. Discworld does however stand up in it's own right. Terry Pratchett's characters from Rincewind to Granny Weatherwax and Death himself are all strong and each brings some to Discworld as a series and to the various novels.
