ON THIS EPISODE OF DISC COVERERS: Know what's more impressive than summoning demons? Summoning the patience for a whole hour's worth of discussion about the worst Discworld book we've read so far, ERIC (or, more accurately, "(strike)FAUST(/strike) ERIC")! Why does this book feel like a dumping ground for a series of limp, cynical bureaucracy gags? Why's Rincewind being such a weird, pissy little jerk to this teenage boy? Did Sir Terry just have a REALLY awful experience at a Best Western once? These questions are... vaguely addressed in this episode. Also we talk about a LOT of other stuff to avoid talking about this book. Whoops!
