I love the reductio ad absurdum of the concept that religions/philosophies from far away are better by default. The prevailing trend of gushing over the Far Eastern philosophy of the moment is a pet peeve of mine in RL, and Pratchett shows brilliantly why it is so. The way Mrs Cosmopolite's sayings just happen to offer an answer to everything makes me too happy for words.
Also, the Auditors discovering the meaning of humanity? Inspired. And I <3 Susan. Susan rocks.
Lords and Ladies is one of my favourites and the reason why I deeply distrust Tolkien's elves. It's all just show, doncha know?
