Huh? Plenty of people have heard of Pratchett o'er here.
I'm actually kind of annoyed with the guy. For every Discworld book that's, well, deep and genuine ("Small Gods"), there are a dozen that are utter bilge; formulaic tripe. The writing may be just as funny in these boilerplate entries, but that gets tired real fast when you realize that plot is pretty much the same as the last two books you read.
Hell, the last one I read actually had some self-referential humor about the awful-world-menacing-thing trope. I'd tell you which one that was, but I can't remember. It was that forgettable.
Kill the series and move on, Terry . . .
