Yes, please.
Well, we know he likes Steve Earle - he called the highest mountain in Lancre Copperhead just so that he could have a Copperhead Road somewhere on the Disc. 
Re: References to Folk Songs etc.:
I’ve always found the Annotated Pratchett File http://www.co.uk.lspace.org/books/apf/lords-and-ladies.html very helpful to understand all those culture-specific references. The only downside is the slow updating. Via the L-web, there’s also the Discworld Wiki, with newer information.
We’re waaaiiiiiting…
I’m typing the post right now, feck off.
Wow - nearly synched with realtime now.
L&L is my favourite discworld novel. It has so much in it to make it interesting and a bit different, but at the same time more of what you’ve come to love from the series. The elves were really quite inspired and I remember reading and rereading the bits describing them as completely cruel and without pity and just lapping it up (hey, I was 14, that kind of stuff appeals at that age!).
I wish TP had just left the elves at that rather than do the half-arsed rehash of them in the wee Free Men because the queen sucked big time in that. Still, I loved watching Granny strip apart that upstart witch and showing her what real power was - go Granny go! I’m also in the camp that will always think of the witches as being Granny, Nanny and Magrat. Anges/Perdita and Tiffany can go swing for all I care (did anyone else read Wintersmith and think TP is getting really desperate now?).
The parallels to cats were especially apt, IMO. Given that Terry is a big cat lover (he did write The Unadulterated Cat, after all), I imagine the comparison came easily to him…
I wouldn’t say the Queen “sucked” in WFM, but she was definitely downgraded. Then again, after the thumpin’ the Queen got from Granny, perhaps she wasn’t anywhere near her full strength – which would explain why she was targeting a ten-year-old girl on the Chalk instead of the witches of the Ramtops…
It looks like I didn’t post here last time round.
One of my favourite Discworld books with Guards! Guards! and Hogfather.
Some things that come to mind.
Circle time, a whole bunch of crop circle gags.
The rude mechanicals/folk dancers all with the wrong names (Weaver the thatcher, Carter the baker. . .)
Magrat fights back - Only one queen in a hive - Slash! Stab!
Cassunuda to the elf king - Cor, you don’t half look like your picture*
Granny borrows with bees.
- the sort of thing you usually see on a privvy wall but in this case drawn on a hillside with twenty thousand tons of earth.
