Fantastiske Terry Pratchett

En av bøkene jeg leser denne sommeren er:

A Hat Full of Sky

av Terry Pratchett




Pratchett er en beskrivelsens mester. Her er et eksempel fra boka:

Twoshirts was just a bend in the road, with a name. There was nothing there but an inn for the coaches, a blacksmith's shop, and a small store with the word SOUVENIRS written optimistically on a scrap of cardboard in the window. And that was it. Around the place, separated by fields and scraps of woodland, were the houses of people for whom Twoshirts was, presumably, the big city. Every world is full of places like Twoshirts. They are places for people to come from, not go to.

Dette kunne lett vært en beskrivelse av Knapstad...
