I was rereading a description of the Discworld the other day and it struck me how the great A'Tuin - the turtle on who's back the Discworld travels - seemed analogous to Maturin from The Dark Tower cycle. "See the turtle of enormous girth..." I seem to remember that there was a Beam of the Elephant, too. Or am I just reading to much into this?Originally Posted by Spencer
I've been intrigued about the Discworld series by Terry Prachett for a while now, and the fantasy/satirical world it takes place in. I've read a short story that was in the Legends anthology, and loved it, but haven't gotten around to reading the books yet, probably because there are so many of them in the series.
Anyone read any of these books, what do you think? Any analysis of the Discworld itself?
