If You Like "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...

[Karen]

If you like The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, try Terry Pratchett's The Color of Magic. Here's why... (It's like "Hitchhiker's Guide to Fantasy)
page 99 - the failed wizard Rincewind is enduring a long narrative from a talking sword...
"I could see you were a cultured person," Kring (the sword) went on. "So seldom do I get to meet really interesting people, for any length of time, anyway. What I'd really like is a nice mantelpiece to hang over, somewhere nice and quiet. I spent a couple of hundred years on the bottom of the lake once."
"That must have been fun," said Rincewind absently.
"Not really," said Kring.
"No, I suppose not."
"What I'd really like is to be a plowshare. I don't know what that is, but it sounds like an existence with some point to it."

Now, doesn't that just sound like the perfect book to perk up your day?

I think any book where you get dialogue from a sword would perk up my day...especially a humorous sword as opposed to a steely unrelenting sword.

That really does sound funny.
