Returning to Terry Pratchett's Discworld series after years away is like getting back to an old, cheerfully witty friend after a long separation. Every few pages of Sourcery yield a smile, and although it's one of the early entries in the series, it's still a solid read. Honestly, I don't see what people have against the adventures of Rincewind. Even if, as all authors do, Pratchett improved with age and experience, the imagery, metaphors, and plot still entertain and even frolic across the imagination.
Perhaps, though, things will go south once Ankh-Morpork is left. Assuming, of course, that Rincewind, Conina, and the Archchancellor's hat actually manage to set out for Klatch before Coin the Sourcer grows bored with Unseen University and stalks them in an inevitable quest to retrieve the hat. Being quasi-possessed by the spirit of your dead father will drive you to things like that, after all.
