    AA,

    Thanks to your frequent mentioning of Terry Pratchett, this caught my eye when I saw the TV schedule. I missed the first half hour or so, but the last two hours were very entertaining.
    It's definitely worth a re-watch, and the next time I'm in a book store I'll have to take a look at which of his works they have.

    Terry Pratchett

    Some years ago, I happened upon his book, Night Watch. Since my usual reading fare leans toward crime fiction and thrillers, it took me a while to "get it." This thread prompted me to reread a chapter, just to refamiliarize myself, and I remember enjoying little bits and pieces of humor tucked among the story lines...almost Python-esque, in a way, if a bit more subtle.

    I am just re reading Night watch - they are some of the few books I can read again - and again - though I have to be careful reading Reaper Man - it makes me laugh so much it is dangerous.

    I like the Death of Rats, the Grim Squeaker - he does hamsters and gerbils too.

    I haven't seen Hogfather the film, but I read the book last week. Not a book to make anyone laugh, really. Not even the funny bits.
