    My son's high school gave him "Reaper Man" as part of the science fiction book club program...he didn't read it but I did and enjoyed it thoroughly.

    Mort in play script form is also one of my faves but I really didn't enjoy the first one Color of Magic at all...I suppose that I'll read one here and there but I doubt that I'll become a fan of all of them.

    He is superb and can be read by all of all ages-for his books have so many layers of comprehension.

    Quite fascinating too his spiritual knowledge, for he touches on some quite fascinating aspects-he has also spoken to the Pagan Federation here in the UK, but will not be drawn upon his own beliefs.

    I a word, LOTS!

    IMHO, like most authors I really enjoy, Pratchett can be read at all ages by all readers and everyone will get a different story.

    For a different book and author, I am reading (for about the fourth time) Silverlock by John Meyers Meyers. Still as much fun as the first read but on many different levels.

    Its early and we (son, wife and I) are doing a fundraising walk today. Kilted of course! Will give you details and maybe pics later.
