I always shed a tear at the end of Small Gods when Brutha gives a hand to Vorbis to help him across. I'm getting glassy eyed thinking about it. (It's exactly the same with the end of Lord of Light and Watership Down.)
The <i>Colour of Magic</i>, if far more farcical, is also a superior book. Sort of an absurdist fable, which is to say that the moral is "everybody dies in the end."
