#6 - Discworld
Practhett clearly knows his theatre. Especially his Shakespeare. I mean, one could have guessed from the title that this would wander vaguely through the general plot of the Scottish play and one would have been correct. I really enjoyed the three witches - each with their own personalities and idiosyncrasies. It was a bit of a slow start for me, though. I didn't really fall into it until about midway through. I believe (I could be wrong) this is the first book without Rincewind and we only get a cameo from Death. Pratchett is still genius in his descriptions. I find myself heartily amused by many of his sentences. I'm curious to see how this whole world is really going to come together to affect each other. Lancre is a new setting, though we've seen the Ramtops before. It's taking me longer to get through this series but I am determined to go through them all.
