Debian ==> Nethack ==> Terry Pratchett ==> Carpe Jugulum

On my Debian workstation, to pass the time, I installed and play: Nethack.

In the current Debian Stable Distribution, the version of Nethack pays tribute to an author, Terry Pratchett, in spellbooks.

If a player purchases a story Spellbook from a Merchant, and reads it, the Game rewards them. The Spellbook will have excerpts from a Terry Pratchett book.

Because of this, I became exposed to this writer, and enjoyed the excerpts, and ended up purchasing one of his stories: "Carpe Jugulum"

Story concept was Good Witches protecting the citizens of Lancre from Vampires.

Just finished reading it. Enjoyed. British humor, like Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but less slap-stick.
