Novels are a special type of book introduced in NetHack 3.6.0. They were added as a tribute to Terry Pratchett, the author of the Discworld series, who passed away in 2015, the year of NetHack 3.6.0's release. When unidentified, a novel appears as a paperback book.
Though they do not teach spells, novels are considered spellbooks and can be written with a magic marker, taking 5–9 charges to do so. This is subject to failure if novels have not been identified.
Generation
The first book or scroll shop to be generated is guaranteed to stock a novel.
The following information pertains to an upcoming version (NetHack 3.7). If this version is now released, please verify that it is still accurate, then update the page to incorporate this information.
Though this is still true, novels now comprise 0.1% of randomly generated spellbooks. You and aligned priests will not start with a novel, nor will one be granted as a prayer boon.Effect
Reading a novel causes NetHack to display a quote from a Discworld book. The first novel you read gives you 20 points of experience; subsequent novels have no additional effect. Reading novels breaks illiterate conduct.
