Terry Pratchett and Border's Rewards

I've been meaning to read Terry Pratchett for a while, but I always forget to look for his books whenever I go to the library. I finally remembered last week, and checked out one of his books, Thief of Time.
Today I've finished reading six of his books: The Fifth Elephant, The Thief of Time, The Truth, The Last Hero, Night Watch, and Going Postal.
Seriously, Terry Pratchett's Discworld books are loads of fun, full of satire and the occasional glint of political or cultural insight. They take place in Discworld, a world like ours except that it's a disc balanced on the backs of four elephants balanced on the back of a ginormous sea turtle hurtling through space, and they cover every possible theme imaginable, from time-traveling monks to felons appointed as postmaster-generals. Think of them like Hitchhiker's Guide, but with a much stronger grip on story. I laugh out loud at least every other page.
My one complaint is that at times, to increase the depth of the world he's created, Pratchett will stray from the story to describe elements of the culture that are tangential to the story. Not that this happens very often, and when it does, it's still entertaining.
Which is why it was awesome when Terry Pratchett teamed up with Neil Gaiman, who has one of the best eyes for characters and plots and strangeness out of current fantasy/sci-fi writers. Their collaboration, Good Omens, is one of the best and most entertaining books I've ever read. I don't even know how to describe how good it is, just read it.

I get most of my books from Borders, even though both the Borders near my house are further than the Barnes and Noble's. This is because Borders has the absolute best program for bookbuying: Border's Rewards.
Border's Rewards is free, unlike a Barnes and Noble's membership. And where Barnes and Noble's give out skimpy ten to twenty percent discounts, Borders sends out a coupon every week via email worth...wait for it...thirty to forty percent.
Forty percent!
I got myself a Lord of the Rings trilogy this weekend from Borders that's normally worth thirty plus dollars for eighteen. I still can't get my mind around it--twelve dollars saved! That's two more paperbacks, more if you wait for next week for the next coupon...
On top of coupons for Borders, the Border's Rewards program also offers "Perks," which are coupons or deals to other, non-book related purchases, from dinner to shoes to massages...
If a penny saved is a penny earned, Border's Rewards is like getting a free ten bucks every week. If you buy books with any frequency like I do, get a Border's Rewards card.
Forty percent!
