"So fun! I love all the details that Pratchett thinks of in imagining a flat world. Even the way language is different based on the fact that they are on a disc. The directions are hubward (toward the center), rimward (toward the rim), turnwise (along the direction that the disc is spinning), and widdershins (opposite direction), not north, south, etc."

"This was the beginning of my love of all things Discworld. I actually grieved when I finished the entire collection. I still haven't found anything, other than Neil Gaiman, that has come close to this book and the ones that follow. "

"The luggage is my favorite character."

"This is a good book but it is not where you should start with Terry Pratchett. Start with something like Going Postal. His writting got better with time and this novel was just not as sharp."
