Oh, please, Terry, don't sink to this level. She's writing kids books - she can't come close to your level of humor. Harry Potter will never match Rincewind, Sir Sam Vimes, or (and see my tag line) the Wee, Free Men.

I read the Potter books because my daughter does - but I've never gone back and read them again. Yours on the other hand, I'll read again and again - I catch something new each time, and always find myself laughing.

Now, hurry up and get Thud to the printers.

One word: Xanth.

Terry also invented the best name ever for a troll:

Detrius.

Whose weapon of choice is an arablast--name "Piecemaker".

The two authors are different. There is room for apples and steak.
