What The Colour of Magic is like to read
A gleefully absurd romp through a flat world balanced on turtle-back, following a cowardly wizard and the Disc's first tourist from one comic disaster to the next. Pratchett's debut is looser and more parodic than later Discworld, driven by wordplay and set-piece sendups of fantasy tropes. Best for: readers who want Douglas Adams-style wit applied to sword-and-sorcery.
