“Just erotic. Nothing kinky. It's the difference between using a feather and using a chicken.”

"Some ancient and probably fearful warning was edged over the crumbling arch, but it was destined to remain unread because over it someone had pasted a red-and-white notice which read: 'You Don't Have To Be 'Damned' To Work Here, But It Helps!!!'"

Pratchett’s take on Faust is nothing short of comedic genius. And while I have never read Faust, the parody of the legend plus Homer plus Dante, was not lost on me. This super short entry in the Discworld had me laughing form page one and I could not put it down. Eric is a great entry into the Rincewind line of the Disc.

**AUDIBLE**

Short (at just over 4 hours 30 minutes) but sweet and as funny as ever.

I’m not sure why this one was so short. Maybe it is an introduction to Eric further on in the series, we shall see. Nonetheless, brilliant as always. On to book 10.
