I will certainly make an effort to find this book, sounds interesting.
Seriously Pip ....
All of Terry Pratchet's works are interesting. Accute observation of the human condition and humans in particular (on a behavioural level) is what makes this Carnegie Award winning man great. And don't even THINK of overlooking his 'Childrens Books'
The Wee Freemen
A Hat Full of Sky
The Winter Smith
Strata
The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents
etc...
'gOOD oMENS' ..is another that comes to mind.
And like Douglas Adams...the world will be poorer for the passing of his mind.
*Can't really praise the man's work highly enough... Paul Kidby's Illustrations are up there with Disney et al
