Great stories, great writing, great wit and lots of heart.

I just finished "A Hatful of Sky" for the second time.

I too re-read the Tiffany Aching books as well - after each one I'm prone to speak in "Nac Mac Feegle" phrases - nothing makes quite the same impact as holding your head in your hands and shouting "crivens" or "waley, waley, waley." (Not sure of the latter spelling).
