The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett
5.0
The Color of Magic remains a five star read after almost a decade since the last time I sat down with it. No surprise there.
This book is magical, adventurous, silly, and so very, very charming. This is the kind of book you curl up with when you have a nasty cold and you just want to feel cozy and warm.
We're introduced to some of my favorite characters in fiction: Rincewind, the incompetent wizard, who keeps finding himself carrying out heroic deeds despite his very best efforts to the contrary. And sweet Twoflower, intrepid world explorer and hopeless optimist, bumbling along and assuming nothing could ever possibly *want* to hurt him. And the Luggage! Like a faithful dog, but at least twice as loyal and three times as murderous. I'm not forgetting Death, of course, because none of us ever truly can.
Seriously, this is just such a wonderful book with a lovely, nonsensical world to fall into. I look forward to continuing on with the many, many books in The Discworld series.
