Sir Terence David John Pratchett's Discworld
During these couple of days I´ve read one of the Discworld novels, to be more precise no.4 Mort. Terry Pratchett´s novels is very easy to like, his satire is hilarious, thoughtful, always to the limit and sometimes beyond it. The only author I can compare him to is Douglas Adams, who has written The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, that I also liked. You got to wonder more that once if they are insane, and I have still not figured it out.
An example of how wacky logic can get on the disc, is form the fourth book:
"Light on the Discworld isn´t like light elsewhere. It´s grown up a bit, it´s been around, it doesn´t feel the need to rush everywhere. It knows that however fast it goes darkness always gets there first, so it takes it easy."
I find that kind of logic amusing.
