well, a typical Dicsworld book is:
- Fantasy
- Satire
- Hilarious "laugh out loud" book
- Disturbingly deeply philosophical
- Full of quotes (*)
- Full of puns
- Full of observations that make you think for a very long time after you finish the book
- going to be read again and again and again ...
(*) just as Hamlet is full of quotes
A dwarf asks her friend - a werewolf:
"Isn't it difficult to be vegetarian while you are in Human form?"
"It is much more difficult not to be a humanitarian when I am in Wolf form."
