And what I appreciate about Pratchett making his readers laugh is that it's never for a second by facile, superficial writing. Instead, as he himself once commented, his writing is born of an immense amount of anger at the stupidity that is so prevalent in every part of this world, and so incredibly destructive. What a great outlet for and transformation of that anger, and we're all the richer for it.
