The Light Fantastic - Terry Pratchett

Every year, around Christmas to early February, I get in a Pratchett kind of mood.

The Light Fantastic was another of the dark-cover books from my mom, except that I'm certain I've read it before.

It's a story of Rincewind (the world's most inept wizard), Twoflower (a tourist on the Discworld), the Luggage (with feet) and the end of the world. It features DEATH, Cohen the Barbarian, several diamond-toothed trolls, the wizards of Unseen University and a fair maiden. With characters like that, how could the story not be fantastic.
