Books 2009: 80
80. Terry Pratchett, Unseen Academicals.
"The thing about football - the important thing about football - is that it is not just about football."
This is a book about football. And goblins. And wizards. And Ankh-Morpork. Like all of Pratchett's work in this last decade or so, it goes a little deeper than good rousing sarcastic fun: as a Discworld book, this is on par with, if not better than, Night Watch or Monstrous Regiment: I think it's better than Nation, which I thought at the time was his best work to date.
I loved it.
