Point one: you can’t go wrong with Pratchett.
I only read Small Gods, you’ll have to give me feedback on the others after you are done!
Small tangential comment: never skip Pratchett’s footnotes!
and also dont skip the footnote's footnotes
Nested footnotes, I love it! Those are so fun when authors add extra flavor to an already rich story
The deeper the stack of footnotes the more jewels there are hidden in there
I just gave a thumb through of one and there certainly are footnotes. I didn't generally skip them but I'll give these more heed!
A lot of the best humour is in the footnotes.
