The Dish World series is known for its super humor and wonderful irony. Pratchett often "borrows" concepts from literary classics, sci-fi and fantasy masterpieces, myths and legends and folk tales from various countries, and even Hollywood movies to compare and mock culture and technology in the real world.

Many novels in the Dish World series have the same protagonist, so dozens of books in the entire series can be roughly classified according to this standard, but sometimes, the protagonist in some books will also be played in other books. supporting role. At the same time, although many of the works in the series are "independent" in name, they are inextricably linked to the main line of the whole story; moreover, the Dish World series has generally achieved "real-time" development-with As the novels are published one after another, the age of the characters will change accordingly.

The Color of Magic quotes

  • Death: Your lifetime is up, Rincewind. I can't hang around all day.

    Rincewind: I can. What have you done with the tourist?

    Death: Nothing. He was lured by the attraction of the Wyrmberg.

    Rincewind: So at least the Patrician won't be sending out his men to kill me just yet then?

    Death: There is a distinct possibility that he may not need to.

    Rincewind: What are you grinning at?

    Death: Oh, I'm sorry. I can't help it. Now, would you be so kind as to let go? It won't hurt.

    Rincewind: Being torn to pieces by wolves won't hurt?

    Death: It would be over very quickly. And of course, they are an endangered species.

  • Death: I think I've just had another Near Rincewind Experience.
