I like to think it's anyone who gets a bit too full of themselves.


The real quotation is a bit different.

It's from a book of his called 'The Colour of Magic'

"Let's just say that if complete and utter chaos was lightning, he'd be the
sort to stand on a hilltop in a thunderstorm wearing wet copper armour and
shouting 'All gods are *******s'."


The first book of his was written at some very young age..around fifteen, I
think.

It's fun. He's unpretentious and great for kids of all ages.


Tom Sharpe is funnier, but in a different way.

But if RHF reads _Small Gods_, his brain will melt.

I like Terry Pratchett... "Good Omens" (which he co-wrote with Neil Gaiman)
is pretty funny, considering the unusual subject material for a "funny"
book.
