"Of course, it is very important to be sober when you take an exam. Many worthwhile careers in the street-cleansing, fruit-picking and subway-guitar-playing industries have been founded on a lack of understanding of this simple fact."

Gaspode! So much from this book is quotable, and while I didn't get all the references, this book was a much more targeted parody/satire of the film industry in general. I love how even when Pratchett is writing "heroic" characters, they are deeply flawed in one way or another.

As I've started reading Reaper Man, I've realized that this is the book where we first start seeing the Bursar of Unseen University lose his efficient demeanor under the brunt of the Archchancellor.
