Neil Gaiman talks to Terry Pratchett:

Terry Pratchett's Discworld is 25 years old, which means I've known him for 24 years. We met when the first Discworld book, The Colour of Magic, came out in paperback. At the time, I was a young journalist in an unbecoming hat and Terry was the press officer for the South Western Electricity Board. It was his first interview and we had a Chinese meal, arranged by the publisher. Neither of us was certain who was meant to pay for it.

The latest—and loopiest—Astral Weeks yet is up at the L.A. Times site. I have fun with Terry Pratchett's Making Money and allude, once again to DUNCAN. For maximum effect, please italicize, in your mind, the last bit of the last sentence in the second graf ("I am incapable...")

(Thanks to Jenny for fielding my Discworld queries.)
