Plot Summery: Following the dramatic climax of the Colour of Magic (no spoilers - I promise), The Light Fantastic picks up the story where we left off, with our hapless hero - Rincewind in mortal danger....only not really, thanks to a spell which lives in him. Twoflower appears again and ends up playing contract bridge with the four horseman of the apocalypse whilst Rincewind is nearly killed (again) by Deaths adoptive daughter. The book climaxes with..... well a climax (I promised no spoilers) and Rincewind and Twoflower parting ways.
Adaptations: It has been turned into a four part comic, released in 1992-93 and was incorporated into the Sky One two part TV production, which was aired Easter 2008 under the title of the Colour of Magic (see previous post to explain why)
Favourite Quotes: "He moved in a way that suggested he was attempting the world speed record for the nonchalant walk."
"The universe, they say, depended for its operation on the balance of four forces which they identified as charm, persuasion, uncertainty, and bloody-mindedness."
"Rincewind's feet made their own decision and, from the point of view of his head, got it entirely wrong."
