This is how the Discworld began...
In _The Colour of Magic_ the failed wizard Rincewind burst
upon the world and hasn't stopped running since.
This was the book that started the phenomenally successful
series. Here is the sapient pearwood luggage, a mobile trunk
which launders any clothes put it in [sic] and incidentally
homicidally defends its owner. Here is Twoflower, an innocent
tourist in a world of nightmares and fairy tales gone wrong.
Here is Cohen the Barbarian, the world's oldest and greatest
hero. Here is Death, not such a bad sort when you get to know
him...
They have adventures. It'd take too long to explain. Just
read it!
