I have seen a lot of people mention "discworld" here.

What kind of novel or book is it ? Does it fall under the same category as LOTR? What is the concept used in these books ?

Thank you.

To answer your question, ~s.o.s.~, "Discworld" is a series,not just a book. It is based on a planet that is flat(thus, Discworld). It encompasses a wide range of adventures( Tiffany the witch in "The Wee Free Men" and "A Hat Full of Sky", the cat Maurice and rats in "The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents"). By Terry Pratchett. If you really want to experience it for yourself, read them. They're good.

20ish on average, more if I have a book that I'm really into. I spend approximately three hours reading every night before bed, but sometimes I'll sit down and read just for the heck of it.

I'm reading Star Wars: Bloodlines, one of the new Legacy of the Force books.
