I read Night Watch this fall, and... I love Pratchett anyway, but this one socked me over the head. He takes a hard look at Les Miserables. Sam Vimes, Granny Weatherwax and Tifffany Aching are all brilliant people.
Also, anyone with the guts to name a book Thud! gets huge points. And that one's a look at fundamenatalism...
