Eric is try­ing to sum­mon a demon to get his three wishes granted. One day he suc­ceeds, he has a demon in his lit­tle bed­room. Well, he thinks he has a demon, but actu­ally he sum­moned Discworld’s wiz­ard Rincewind and Eric gets more than what he bar­gained for.
Together they begin an adven­ture, and his­tory les­son, through time, space and noth­ing­ness that will take them (lit­er­aly) to hell and back.

2009 in books

I just fin­ished my first book for 2010 and realised I didn’t post my read book of 2009. Although I didn’t read that much, I picked good ones. Not all, of course, that would be inhu­man but still.…I did good overall.

wyrd sisters: the play — terry pratchett & stephen briggs

4 stars

On Dis­c­world live three witches, Granny, Nanny and Mar­grat. One day a baby is thrown into their laps and it hap­pens that it is the son of the dead king. The king, mur­dered by the Duke, who wants to be ruler. Well, the Duchess want to be ruler actu­ally: behind every good man, stands a bet­ter woman. Any­way, the witches decide to get the baby adopted by an actor and his wife, so he stays out of trou­ble until he is ready to rule as the new king. When every­thing goes awry with the Duke (the idea to burn down the whole for­est amongst other things), the witches decide to speed up time about fif­teen years. But is that the right decision?
