20/20, No problem whatsoever. Not even close to a challenge.
I could have located the St. Kitts & Nevis islands on a worldmap just the same if they'd asked me. Okay, most likely because I looked it up a few days back, but still.

The Fifth Elephant was the first Pratchett novel I ever read, and it also has the watch in it IIRC. It's a bit difficult to compare it to the other novels because of the fact it was the first one, but I believe it was quite good. Good enough to make me want to read more of his work, anyways. :)

The Last Continent was... different. Maybe it was the language barrier, but I was very confused during the last 30 pages or so; still don't know what happened exactly. Have to reread it at least once, I suppose. :) There's some classic Pratchett humour in it, but most of it didn't involve Rincewind...

A little bit of everything, actually... Read some Pratchett recently, but also Anne Rice's The Witching Hour (throw that one in the fantasy/horror category) and Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendant (of a more philosophical and "heavier" nature than the aforementioned novels ;)). Furthermore I ...

Kid A is the only one out of that list I actually have, can't really be bothered to buy any of the others and add them to my pretty extensive collection of CD's...

Undecided. Both countries have its good and bad representatives, though perhaps I tend towards the US a bit... Normally when people ask me about my favourite bands, I name 4 (Pinback, Sonic Youth, Pavement and Motorpsycho), and 3 of those (the first three) are American. But it's not enough to say wh...
