Book Heaven

It takes a very special book to bump Douglas Adams or Bill Watterson off the top of my reading list, but that book has just arrived. I'll now be Thud'ing away, and no doubt my wife will be all over it right after me (and probably devour it in about a quarter of the time). This is book #30 in the Discworld Series. Wow!
