The Subtle Science and Exact Art of...

Thu Mar 5, 2009, 4:26 PM
... British humor. Snarkiness. Whatever you wish to call it, it has always been something I have enjoyed, even if I didn't entirely understand all the jokes.
No one does snark quite like the British, and over the past year I have been making my way through the works of one of the finest examples of fantasy that I have ever read - the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett.
If I have any true regrets in this life it is that I did not start reading his books soon enough. The man is a literary genius.

Has anyone else out there experienced the wit and wisdom of these wonderful books?

The actual post itself was somewhat amusing, but some of the comments people made were... um... wow. Just... wow.

It was a link you sent me, something about "how to kill time at work" and I clicked on the link. I shouldn't have clicked on the link, but I did, and it was... awful.
