The Light Fantastic by Terry Pratchett

The 2nd book in Terry Pratchett's Discworld series is fantastic. Once again we join the trio, Rinsewind, Twoflowers, and Luggage, on their adventures on the Disc. This time around, our trio is increased to a quintuplet with the addition of the old, but still rugged Cohen the barbarian- the Discs greatest hero, and the virgin druid maiden, Bethan. This book takes us through the adventures that happen as this ragtag bunch tries to save the Discworld from pending doom as a giant red star appears in the path that the Great A'tuin is traveling, and the funny and touching relationships that evolve from it as well. This book is equally, if not more, exciting and enjoyable as the first. I am very excited to continue on in the series and can't wait to see what else Pratchett throws into the mix!

Next on the reading list, Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood and What's So Great About the Doctrines of Grace? by Richard D. Phillips.
