I'm reading that right now too! Granted, the sheer scope is not the same as the first, but that is because it's tackling humanity specifically. I love the insights, and the topic about free will (Free Won't) is exactly what I came up with about a year ago.
First time I tried to tackle them was a couple of years ago and I gave up on the second, purely because the hard science didn't grip me as much. You'll be pleased to know that now, with two years of social sciences under my back, I'm finding it far more interesting and enjoyable.

So yes, I'm reading lots and lots of Discworld. Currently on Going Postal.
One of my all time favourite Discworld books that, second only to Night Watch.
