""Master Dung's study was silent. So silent, in fact, that one might have been able to hear a gnat passing air, if only an obligingly flatulent gnat had happened nearby."" The Scriptlings is the unlikely, yet strangely charismatic lovechild you would expect if Magic and Science were to have one too many drinks during a stand-up comedy show in Vegas. In short, it follows the story of Merkin and Buggeroff, two magician apprentices in a world where magicians are capitalists, computers are quasi-magical, and goats are sometimes invisible - all under the watchful eye of a wandering tribe of monosyllabic demigods. What The Experts Are Saying: "Laugh your heart out " "A love letter to Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett." "Magic, computers, fast-paced action, and a goat." "You may find yourself reading it aloud."

This is one of my favourite books ever. It's a contemporary fantasy comedy that follows Merkin and Buggeroff, two apprentice magicians (aka Scriptlings) in a world where magic is performed through computer code written in dead languages, like Latin and Sumerian. It's very funny and unique, and you can tell by the type of humour that the author is a big fan of Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett. ❤️❤️❤️ #SizzlinSummerBooks #1stInSeries

#riotgrams day 6: I'm currently (re)reading The Scriptlings, by Sorin Suciu. It's a great read for fans of Douglas Adams (my favourite author) and I feel like this book never got the attention it deserves. It's funny, intelligent and quite geeky, and the characters are just great. I look forward to its sequel!
