Strata - Not a Discworld Novel but ok. I confess, I didn't like it quite as much but that may have been more my frame of mind while reading it in all fairness.

All of these books are worthwhile but folks should be careful: You can teach a parrot to speak the ritual but that doesn't mean that the bird understands it. There are people that will read and listen enough to look/sound good but they don't live the Rede and that makes them cowans. Book knowledge doesn't count for anything if you can't live the basic principles of the Craft. The Rede isn't there just when it's convenient. It is presicely when it is hard to live the Rede that you must.

Knowledge is nothing without comprehension and application.
