Trash & Treasures

Terry Pratchett is one of the most influential and fondly remembered fantasy authors in the English language, with good reason. That's why we set out to read his worst book, to prove that sometimes really good authors flower from really terrible novels. Or, there is a very good reason why the first piece of advice Discworld fans give is "don't start with the first book." Strap in for a parody that only works if you have an encyclopedic knowledge of fantasy novels from the 80s, and even then it's touch and go. With special guest appearances by the astonishing amount of bullshit in Anne McCaffrey novels.
