    I love Terry Pratchett's feegles! The last installment of the Tiffany Aching series was a great one.

    I've been hooked on Pratchett for over 20 years now. Thank goodness he got a better publisher rather than having to wait for the import of the old Corgi books.

    Reading it to my son every night. Quite a bit darker than the previous ones - opening with teen pregnancy, miscarriage, alcoholism and child beating was not exactly smile provoking.
    Wee Free Men, Hat Full of Sky and Wintersmith are by far the best books we ever read together.

    The funniest line ever written in the English language just might be:
    "Rowaarghgently boat ouchgentlydown boat boat boatiddely boat stream boatilymerily boataargh... CRIVENnnnnns!"

    (context helps, read the books if you dont get it)

    Daft Wullie, ye do hae the brains o’ a beetle, an’ I’ll fight any scunner who says different!
