weekly review

I have finished my stock of Terry Pratchett books. I have to say, he is a genius. He uses irony and sarcasm in such way that its absolutely hilarious. I started out with his most famous series, the Disk world. Disk world is a series of books that is set in the same universe, same characters appear in different books, but the books are only loosely connected, you can read just some of the books and it would make (somewhat) sense. the entire universe is a flip version of our universe, it makes fun of what happened in out world. the main world is not a "planet" because it is in the shape of a disk, hence the name Disk World. the world rests on 4 elephants which stands on a turtle which swims through the universe searching for a mate, when it finds another turtle ( with elephant and worlds on top) they mate and the world falls and is destroyed, their offspring then is born with its own set of elephants and world and the cycle goes on. in the world, there are eight colors in a rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, purple and magic. there are 4 "genders": male, female, wizards and witches. the wizards study at a Unseen University and act all incompetent, while the witches act as healers but everyone still fears them and wants to burn them, Death is an occupation up for grabs and Gods tend to not know all that much about how biology works. I really recommend this series to anyone who need a laugh.
