One of my favourite parts of the book was when we're first introduced to Nutt and meanwhile the wizards are running around shouting and attempting to catch Rincewind...pure genius and utterly bonkers

Without a doubt, my favourite line is when Nutt tries to compliment Glenda:
Bless!
Bless!
One of the good quotes is:
"Glenda sat down and started to read. A lifetime of what even she would call bad romantic novels suddenly bore fruit. It read as though someone had turn on the poetry tap and then absent-mindedly gone on holiday."
The fact that she Knew it had been written by Mr. Nutt was amazing on it's own lol.
The next is, "Glenda thought, I used to be able to read you like a book--one with big colourful pages and not many words. And now I can't. What's happening? You're agreeing with me and I ought to feel smug about it, but I don't. I feel bad about it, and I don't know why, and it hurts." *that is sort of about you pooh*
Rincewind is just soooo funny. " 'I would like permission to fetch a note from my mother, sir' Ridcully sighed. 'rincewind, you once informed me, to my everlasting puzzlement, that you never knew your mother because she ran away before you were born. Distinctly remember writing it down in my diary. Would you like another try?' 'Permission to go and find my mother?' " Personally, I love Rincewind.
Other than that, oh about 2/3's of the book and the other 1/3 too.

My favorite was the chandelier (sp.) lighting scene at the football coach party, and Ridcully's and the audience's reaction to it.
In a university devoted to the study of magic, only someone like Nutt would have the ingenuity to use science to create a magical effect. It says more about his character that most of his long-winded speeches.
