The Light Fantastic by Terry Pratchett

Ok, so I cheated, this isn't on June's list. However, the Color of Magic went so well, and it ended on such a cliff-hanger, that I really just wanted to find out what happened to Rincewind and I couldn't get any of my other books going.

So, much like my experience with the previous book, apparently I was just ready for this. I sucked it down in a day's worth of stolen moments. Rincewind does, in fact, survive the previous book. I had a moment there where I thought Pratchett had finished with Twoflower, but he shows back up too.

I've always liked the cosmology of discworld. It's a lot of fun to think about. I like the idea of giant turtle swimming through the cosmos with four elephants perched on its back supporting the disc of the world. I particularly love that some of the inhabitants spend time worrying about what A'tuen (the turtle) thinks about and what his or her gender is. Surprisingly, this volume has a great deal more to do with those questions than I remembered.

Anyway, it's over. Back to the list...I wonder if I can squeeze in one more book off the June list.
