If you were going to recommend a Terry Pratchett book to someone who has never read any Pratchett and also isn't really into sci-fi or fantasy in a big way but who does have a sense of humour, which book would you recommend?
and the fact he would write an entire section of plot just so the running joke had a brilliant punchline!
Ohhhhhh yes. Right at the end of Soul Music, when Buddy gets a job at the chip shop after 300-odd pages of being mistaken for an elf, and we finally get hit with the punchline?
Genius. I don't think I've ever groaned that loud in my life.
