Unseen Academicals by Terry Pratchett
This one was a bit of a slog. Definitely not one of his best. I kept getting the feeling that I was missing the joke (including the one in the title.) Wasn't sure if that was because my brain is mush from being sick for so long or because Pratchett wasn't getting the jokes across with his usual efficiency.
Anyway.

Hi Clare,
the title joke: there's a British football (i.e. Soccer) team called 'Hamilton Academicals'. I admit, that's pretty obscure, even for Brits...

Ah, thanks Chris! I pretty much knew I was missing something.
