Those of you who are fans of Terry Pratchett will appreciate this trivia book. If you thought you knew something about the plots and puns of Discworld, and those of the Roundworld, as well, try your hand at these stumpers. It's a small book, divided into sections, with ten trivia questions persection. Answers are at the back of the book, but there's a hook--BONUS questions included in the answers!

I have read everything of Pratchett's I can get my hands on--several times. Thought I knew a lot about the Discworld and the inhabitants. NAH! Just a beginner.

It's a lot of fun, a lot of completely useless knowledge, and you can read it in public, if you put a plain brown wrapper on the cover.

If you're a die-hard Diskworld Pratchett fan and can't wait for his next novel to come out this is the book for you. It's packed with a ton of little known esocteric minutuia to satisfy those of you with a PhD from UU as well as enough better known trivia to make the rest of us feel better about not getting the hard questions right. One of the reasons this book is so difficult is that it was written for the British portion of Pratchett fandom. Our English cousins have a much richer selection of Pratchett material then do we poor Colonists. But even this is fun. It's reassuring to know that there is always something new for the American who is ready to dig a little bit to find. Buy this book now!

I think it's a bit silly, but also think any Discworld fan will enjoy this, I know I did.
