Terry Pratchett on BBC radio
I really like Terry Pratchetts Discworld novels, and one of my favourites is "small gods" - to which you can listen on BBC 4 radio at the moment: Direct Link.
It´s funny but it also gives you something to think about...
"There are gods everywhere on the Discworld but only a few people can see them. On the Discworld, gods need people more than people need gods."
It was my first Pratchett book and I read it ages ago, when I was taking a language course in Cambridge.
I spent hours in the bookstores and "disovered" Pratchett and Brian Jacques (the redwall series) before the became popular in germany - I´d be rich by now if I hadn´t been an 16 year old student but a book publisher ;).
Btw: If you ever get the chance to visit cambridge, do so.
It ist incredibly beautiful with its old colleges, the river cam etc. - even if my memory might be a bit clouded because I enjoyed my time there so much :).
