StacyJ, are have you read all of Prachett's Discworld novels? I would agree with you about the early series, but the last several books have been deeper then 'empty calories' with much better targets of the satire (i.e. our world instead of fantasy tropes).

Cory, I have to say I'm envious. The Brits get a much better cover for their Discworld novels then we get here in the states. The subdued covers really don't do the comic feeling of the work justice.
