Wyrd Sisters (Discworld, Bk 6)

In this Discworld novel, three witches get involved in politics and the theater. In Pratchett's hysterically funny style, the famous Shakespearean play Macbeth is stood on its ear and shaken to see what falls out. As Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, and Magrat Garlick break all their own rules to circumvent the murdering duke that has taken the throne of Lancre, nothing is quite what is expected - the godmothers' wishes have unexpected consequences, the missing heir wants nothing to do with the throne, and the best man for the job just may be the biggest Fool of all! This is definitely a fun, light read.
