Sourcery

The fifth book in the Discworld series picks back up with Rincewind, who has been named the assistant librarian at Unseen University. Twoflower has gone back to the Counterweight Continent, but he's left the Luggage, a walking trunk with a mind of its own. All is well until a little boy with ridiculously amazing magical powers comes to the University and demands to be made head wizard. After stepping out of the University for a drink, Rincewind gets "kidnapped" by the thief who stole the head wizard's hat- a girl named Conina. Oh, and the hat talks, by the way.

Favorite Quote: "The Ankh-Morpork Merchants' Guild publication Wellcome to Ankh-Morporke, Citie of One Thousand Surprises describes the area of Old Morpork known as The Shades as "a folklorique network of old alleys and picturesque streets, wherre exitment and romans lurkes arounde everry corner and much may be heard the tratitinal street cries of old time also the laughing visages of the denuizens as they goe about their businesse private." In other words, you have been warned."
