Lies indeed!  The best books ever written are Euclid's Elements.

No, I'm afraid you're all wrong. 

Incidentally, Pratchett's style is a lot like Douglas Adams, so if you liked Hitchhiker's Guide, you'll like Discworld books.

It sounds interesting..........
The once grove of splendor,
Aforetime crowned by lilac and lily,
Lay now forevermore slender;
And all winds that liven
Silhouette a lone existence;
A leafless oak grasping at eternity.

Also, they're fairly short and easy reads.  I'm reading Lovecraft/other early 20th century authors (Poe, Machen, Beirce, etc) and they're fairly slow-going.

There's no TV/internet/etc... in St John, so I think I'll read Discworld :P
