Re-reading Discworld books today demonstrates how timeless they are. Stories Terry wrote in the 1980s still feel like biting satire against the modern world today.

The books also get better as I get older - I read them first as a teenager and many of the deeper ideas about the human condition went straight over my head.

The way the cult leader in Guards! Guards! manipulates his followers, to give just one example.
