Why read it?

1 author picked Carpe Jugulum as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Terry was not only a master at reflecting true human nature and touch upon many current issues within his Discworld novels but also a true wordsmith. Thoroughly entertaining, filled with an array of wonderful characters but now also, just when I thought his books could not get any better, vampires. This book has one of my all-time favourites characters in it namely Granny Weatherwax, the best witch that ever lived.

From Tamara's list on with a bite to titillate your senses.
