Spending time in Djelibeybi

Terry Pratchett is absolutely fascinating. No matter which book you pick up in his endless Discworld series, you will find yourself chuckling with each page. From politics to wizardry and everything in between, Pratchett satires whatever he can wrap his head around (and doubly so for what he can’t).
Recently I’ve become rather fond of Death, who appears in every book to some degree and even has a couple of books centered entirely on his quest for purpose in his, er, existence. However, the range of characters and genres that Pratchett light-heartedly jams into the pages of his books are so varied that it’s hard to call any one person or theme a favorite. There’s romance, mystery, suspense, horror, and of course fantasy all mixed up into one jumbled mess that somehow gets sorted out, more or less, by the end of each tale. Woo!
