A series of books by Terry Pratchett. Best comic fantasy ever written, IMNSHO.

Polls up now. 
Comic fantasy? Manga? You think Discworld is a comic book?

It's an interesting book, from the ten pages I've read.
It's written in chapters, which is rather different from the others.

Not comic but comedy.
I consider Terry Pratchett one of the most important social critics of our time, as his work is not only easily digestable and highly entertaining; he is also reaching out to a large number of readers, especially young ones.
Will buy A Hat Full Of Sky and Going Postal on Amazon anytime soon.

Argh, I've seen the Amazon edition. The word "ouch" comes to mind. Why don't they use Kidby's artwork? I have next to me a very handsome Hardback edition with a half-decent cover.Thadlerian said:

Is it the latest installment in the regular Discworld series, or in the line for "younger readers" (like "The Wee Free Men" and "A Hat Full of Sky")?
Not that it matters much. I will read it as soon as I can lay my sweaty little paws at a copy.

Ah, I love Discworld, its great. I probably won't get this one for a while though. I expect I'll pick it up at some point, but not anytime soon. I have afew Discworld books lying around that I haven't read yet, plus I'm trying to read them in order.

I heard that Pratchett's books accounted for 1% of the UK's book sales last year.
