Eric, stylized as Faust Eric, is the ninth Discworld novel by Terry Pratchett. It was originally published in 1990 as a "Discworld story", in a larger format than the other novels and illustrated by Josh Kirby. It was later reissued as a normal paperback without any illustrations, and in some cases, with the title given on the cover and title pages simply as Eric. (The page headers, however, continued to alternate between Faust and Eric.)

"I'd read so much about the fountain [of youth], and you'd have thought someone in all those books would have mentioned the really vital thing about the water, wouldn't you?”
“Which was - ?”
“Boil it first."


Yeah, Eric is still a bit of a letdown after the previous ones, very much a throwback to the style of the first few books. The Faust theme is fun but underused, many of the running bags are kind of basic... but bureaucracy hell is inspired, and while I never really laugh out loud I like Rincewind bumbling through the classics.
