As sad as it is to admit this, I think Terry Pratchett needs to declare Discworld closed for the duration. The last half-dozen novels in the series have lacked the wonderful zaniness that was the hallmark of the early entries. There was a time when I wouldn't read a Discworld novel in public, fearing someone would come and throw a net over me for laughing uncontrollably with tears running down my cheeks. Alas, no more. This latest entry, in which Lord Vetinari, for reasons never explained, decides to take the chaotic, murderous "sport" of street football and create a league with rules and referees, is . . . I'm sorry . . . It's dull.
