Discworld might be the highest . . .

[Tonyblack]

Terry Pratchett's Discworld might be the highest form of literature on the planet.

An interesting read.

I had read that before as I'm registered on the Tor.com site. I had ment to post it on here but must have been distracted or forgot.

Hmm, it's an interesting read all right, but I can't shake the feeling that I've read it before.

Have I seen it in the Telegraph? Or the Guarniad? Or maybe.......... ugh. Definitely not in the Sun.

Anyway.... I've digressed (again), and traveled further than this guy. Mea culpa...

That is something I've thought for a long time. His writing, at its best is, I would say, comparable to such people as Jonathon Swift. Swift's Gulliver's Travels is often considered to be a children's book these days, but, like Terry, he wrote about human beings and the things that befall them. Human nature doesn't seem to change that much over hundreds of years and that makes such satire relevant for years to come.
