A fun novel featuring the Witches of Discworld. I enjoyed the little bits of humor more than the actual plot, although the Shakespearean theme was great. The whole book would have been worth it just for the glimpses of Nanny Ogg’s drunken rendition of “The Hedgehog Can Never be Buggered at All”.
Wyrd Sisters by Terry Pratchet is the sixth Discworld book. It's the second appearance of Granny Weatherwax, who made a brief but important appearance in Equal Rites. Here, though, she is presented as she should be, with the rest of her coven — Nanny Ogg and Magrat. Together they are the crone (though one would never dare call Granny Weatherwax that), the mother (Nanny Ogg who is mother, aunt or grandmother to most of Lancre) and the maiden (Magrat).

I'm almost unsure why I keep reading these books. I can certainly acknowledge that they're funny, but it's the kind of funny where I just snicker mildly and then start to wonder when I'm going to be made to actually care about the characters. It's sad, but I think that the majority of Discworld just isn't for me. Still, I'll keep reading, in the hopes that I come across another like Hogfather, which I really did love. It'll just be slow going.
