So you're planning to conquer Hawaii and New Zealand first? Then what? [Turns on hidden tape recorder wired to anti-Overlord authorities. . .]

Tough Guide to Fantasyland sounds funny! I just checked to see if my library has a copy, but no luck. BTW, I did find an illustrated copy of Pratchett's The Last Hero yesterday and checked that out--is that any good?

My favorite Shakespeare is Othello, but as far as his comedies I like Tempest, Twelfth Night, and Midsummer Night's Dream best of what I've read. Taming of the Shrew is pretty funny so far--I'm into Act II now.

Hey Hattie! (Mind if I call you that? How 'bout Mr. Hat? :-))

Right... "Last Hero" is really aimed at Discworld fans. I didn't care for it much myself, and it's hard to "get into" Discworld that way.

Look for... oh, "Hogfather" is a brilliant intro. Some of the characters show up in previous novels, so you might get a little confused, but it's hilarious. Part of the 'Death' sub-series. Or "Guards, Guards", which starts the Night Watch subseries.

Much Ado About Nothing is my favorite play. Macbeth is my favorite tragedy - "All Neptune's mighty ocean cannot wash this little hand".

I'm not going to conquer Hawaii et al! I'm just going to live there!
