The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett

I read something silly, just for a change of pace from all the Pulitzers. Silly is the right word. The novel is not serious in any way, and as a result it's hard to get excited about it, but it is fun to read. There's no point to it either, which is a little misleading, since the blurbs seem to imply satire or parody. If anything it is a parody of fantasy novels. This is the very first one in a long series of loosely connected novels. Maybe someday I will read another one - anything can happen.
