Synopsis
Being trained by the Assassin's Guild in Ankh-Morpork did not fit Teppic for the task assigned to him by fate. He inherited the throne of the desert kingdom of Djelibeybi rather earlier than he expected (his father wasn't too happy about it either), but that was only the beginning of his problems..."Pyramids" (the book of going forth) is the seventh Discworld novel - and the most outrageously funny to date.

Sent as a holiday gift to Haugtussa in Norway who likes books about Egypt. This book is about Djelibeybi, the Egypt of the Discworld.
What a lovely surprise! A book + chocolate and extras!
Have to admit that I have never read anything by Terry Pratchett before, as I'm not really a fantasy reader - but one time has to be the first, and hopefully I'll get a pleasant surprise!

Ok - I have to admit that this book has been on my Mt.TBR for a long time, and mainly for one reason - I did not think Terry Pratchett was my cup of tea!
But I have been pleasently surprised, and have learnt (once more) not to judge a book by it's author or cover. I really liked this book, had me laughing quite a lot. My favourite has to be You Bastard the camel, who used mathmatics for all aspects in life!
I remember that I got this book as a gift since I wanted to go to Egypt. I have since then actually been to Egypt & I've ridden a camel (probably called You Bastard...)
So thank you very much for sharing, I've got no immidiate plans for the book. Time will show.
