Book 66

Book 66 was The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett. The Color of Magic is the first in the Discworld series, which spans over 30 novels. That's impressive.

I enjoyed the book-it was light hearted, but had a great deal of action and "oh shit" moments. It followed the failed wizard Rincewind and Twoflower, a tourist. They take a trip through Discworld, and through their journeying we get a picture of what Discworld is and how it works. The humor of the book worked really well for me-there was a great deal of mocking of fantasy in general, and all of it was sharp and funny. The humor never really got ridiculous-it was subtle as opposed to in your face "look how clever I am" humor.

So, overall the book was good and I will read more of the Discworld series. Since there are so many books, I don't expect that I will get through them anytime soon.
