an icepick through the keyhole

I confess that aside from reading The Lord of the Rings and The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant in my misspent adolescence (and Narnia and Prydain) I've never been much of a fantasy reader. I much prefer send-ups of the genre, like Pratchett.

That being said, I've been told that Tough Guide is a send up of the genre, so I might check it out one of these days. Thanks!
