Portal:Discworld/Book of the day/17
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Interesting Times is the seventeenth novel in the Discworld series, and the fifth to feature Rincewind. The title of this book was inspired by the phrase "May you live in interesting times". The events of the novel are a "game" between the Discworld gods Fate and Luck with the Discworld as their game board. The Patrician of Ankh-Morpork is sent a letter from the Agatean Empire on the Counterweight Continent (by albatross mail) commanding him to "send us the Great Wizzard". The wizards of Unseen University, after some discussion, eventually realise the spelling of Wizzard can refer to only one man - Rincewind.
