The Colour of Magic by Terry Pratchett

Okay so I love Rincewind. He is like the best wizzard I have ever read about. Yeah you're right, there ain't actually that many wizzards floating around are there. But, there are a lot of wizards and he is better than all of them. This book is amazing. Rincewind lives through every single situation put to him. The tourist Twoflower and his luggage (with thousands of tiny legs) (soon to be Rincewind's luggage) are the best companions you could ever imagine.
I think as a pair Rincewind and Twoflower were BRILLIANT. I mean come on somebody who is for ever in the way of danger (in the literally sense, literally stood in dangers way) and somebody who want to see absolutely every single god damn thing on the disc, make a pretty hardcore team. This is Pratchett at his best, there is no denying that. On their journey, they see a lot and when I say a lot I mean are in the way a lot. Picture every bad that could happen and it happens only with things that are impossible. They get caught by a tribe that flies on imaginary dragons, they get caught in tavern brawls, they set fire to Ankh Morpork, who can say just this alone? Then add more. He even gets stalked by DEATH (as in the character) ha ha. They live through it all. In fact no matter how dopey Rincewind is, he always, always sorts it out. While others take credit. And I don't even need to mention the AMAZING covers. Definitely a must read if you are new to discworld. Then again why don't all you discworld fans put it back on your to read lists?
