Although, strictly speaking, humans feel it all the time.
     PLUGGERS
He'd still got the nugget somewhere.
Badly concussing one of them, but there's no point in spoiling a good legend.
The ones with cartoons about cows and dogs. And captions like: âAs soon as he saw the duck, Elmer knew it was going to be a bad day.'
Terry Pratchett
is the acclaimed creator of the Discworld® series, started in 1983 with
The Colour of Magic
and now, with
Snuff
, numbering thirty-nine novels. Worldwide sales of his books are in excess of 70 million, and they have been translated into thirty-seven languages. Terry Pratchett was awarded an OBE in 1998, and was knighted for services to literature in 2009.

Â
The Discworld Series is a continuous history of a world not totally unlike our own except that it is a flat disc carried on the backs of four elephants astride a giant turtle floating through space, and that it is peopled by, among others, wizards, dwarves, policemen, thieves, beggars, vampires and witches. Within the history of Discworld there are many individual stories, which can be read in any order, but reading them in sequence can increase your enjoyment through the accumulation of all the fine detail that contributes to the teeming imaginative complexity of this brilliantly conceived world.
