Terry Pratchett – a phenomenon

He leaves behind a keyboard in Wiltshire and says he doesn’t want to get life, because it feels as though he’s trying to lead three already. He is one of the most popular authors writing today. I find his phenomenon in surprising variety of people who really enjoy his novels, from teens to adults, from stall sellers to directors, just name a type of person! His most popular and the biggest novel series is situated in a place called Discworld. A fantastic (in all meanings of that word) world. It’s not like anything you’ve ever seen (unless you’ve seen the Discworld 😉 ). All my efforts to describe it would be nothing more than a terrible failure. Enough to say that the amazing sense of humor Pratchett has is combined with unbelievable stories and characters. I’ve seen people laughing to tears telling episodes from the books, I’ve laughed to tears more than once reading them.

The series starts from “The Colour Of Magic” and “Light Fantastic” which basically tell the adventures of Rincewind -let’s say a wizard, and his companion Luggage. The series continues with over twenty novels, the latest one is called Going Postal, but believe me no matter which point of the series you start at you will really like to read all of them, and I mean all of them 🙂

What’s more to say? Need a good laugh, alter reality, exciting read? Terry Pratchett is the answer!
