I've read all Terry Pratchett books (in order!), and loved every one. Most of his books are set squarely in the disc world, a fantastic creation that mimics the foibles of our own world.

Pratchett loves to play with words (puns) and knows how to turn a phrase. He's a delight to read, and a master storyteller. On a deeper level, he likes to deal with deeper themes. In Nation, he explores the primal need of people to create their gods. It is a very real, and ultimately sympathetic look at the core of our humanness.

PICK UP ANY PRATCHETT BOOK... part fantasy, part mystery, part commentary... and all great good fun! You will quickly have favorite characters... all a must read!

And this one is NOT just for young readers!
