Baldy, I just now finished reading that outrageously funny, totally
irreverent, and fascinating book. I agree. Required reading!
_The Last Centurion_ was not to be found at my local library, so I
invested $5 @ Amazon. It was, absolutely, money well spent.
Had me gigglin' like a schoolgirl at many a point.

I tried launching into several of Pratchett's books several times but
I just can't handle his writing. Not even a little bit.
