And he's at his sharpest, most uproarious best in Thief of Time. As he skewers all aspects of modern life - and especially our sacred cows - Pratchett makes us laugh and challenges us to think. Celebrated as one of the keenest practitioners of satire and parody at work today - alongside Kurt Vonnegut, Douglas Adams, and Carl Hiaasen - Terry Pratchett commands a loyal and ever-increasing number of readers and appreciative critics from coast to coast in our own country. His novels have reigned supreme on English bestseller lists since before the Iron Lady left Downing Street, and though some things have changed since then, Pratchett, thankfully, continues to pen insightfully irreverent tales set in a world a lot like our own - only different. Already a worldwide sensation and Great Britain's indisputable number one author, this intellectually audacious and effortlessly hilarious writer sold more hardcover books in the United Kingdom during the previous decade than any other living novelist.

And on Discworld that is the job of the Monks of History, who store it and pump it from the places where it's wasted (like underwater - how much time does a codfish need?) to places like cities where there's never enough time.
