5. Sourcery

by Terry Pratchett 260 pgs.

As always, Pratchett's books are a lot of fun. Sourcery is the typical Pratchett book filled with clever references and word jokery. I always feel, no matter how many I catch, that I've missed a ton of them. The one true trial of a Pratchett book, however, remains the lack of chapter breaks.

In the disk world, the 8th son of an 8th son is invariably a wizard. And wizards don't have...ahem relations....with the opposite gender. But what if one did? What would be the 8th son of an 8th son of an 8th son? Apparently, it would be a sourcerer. This is also, apparently, a bad thing.
