Not one of my favourite Discworld books, but still better than I remembered it. First appereance of Detritus! And Ponder Stibbons! Ah, reading the Discworld in order makes sense :)

I don't really like Rincewind books in general, and this one might my least favourite of them (though I really liked hell XD)
Neverwhere
The perfect book to read after a short holiday in London :3
