Finished Pratchett's Interesting Times last night (and started reading Maskerade), which was an above-average Discworld novel. Rincewind and Cohen the Barbarian means adventure and violence. The story takes place in the Counterweight continent, so there's a lot of asian references. The main villain is an über-sharp shôgunesque Lord, who dreams of playing chess with a worthy foe, namely Vetinari (although that means he'd have to let him keep one arm).
By average Discworld novel, I mean one that is entertaining. Thus, above average means very (if not extremely) entertaining. From what I can remember of Night Watch, it is one that sets the standard for what is a top-notch Discworld novel.
Oh, and I saw The Shawshank Redemption again yesterday. It's a bloody brilliant movie. If you haven't seen it already, drop what you're doing and see it immediately.
