Any Discworld fans here? What's your favorite Discworld book? Mine's probably "Night Watch"

[Taliesin]

*jumps up and down on the chair*
"Yes! Yes! We love it. And favourite book - *a very long silence* Maybe it's "Carpe Jugulum" or "Night Watch""

[Monica]

Small Gods It was fantastic. T.P. is pretty exceptional.

[Ia Nabu]

Love it, don't have nearly enough time for it! Favortite is probably the first novel I read by him, The Reaper Man. Followed closely by Thief of Time, Mort and Equal Rites.

I love Terry Pratchett right now i'm (re-)reading all the books i haven't read (or have only read in German). i s'pose my favourites are Night Watch and Thief of Time as for sophistication and thoughtfulness and Witches Abroad or the one where Rincewind goes to Australia.. eh Fourecks for being funny.. but i gotta read so many others before i can really judge...
- right now i'm reading Guards! Guards!.. why do i always picture Vimes as a fat man, although it clearly says he's skinny?
has anyone read Going Postal yet? i soooo want to read it but i can't afford the hard cover edition... gotta wait for the paperback...

[mister_noel_y2k]

yeah i read going postal last november when it came out and i couldnt afford it either (im a penniless university student) so i borrowed it from the library. its a good book sort of like the truth in the way that a chap starts a new business on the disc like a newspaper only its a post service. now i think about it, its not so really original but its still a good read, lots of the usual discworld gags and of course death puts in an appearance. so nothing really new, the more i read vetinari the more i like him, but still a good book to check out, so go visit your local library!

[SleepyWitch]

hehe alright I'll give it a try although i'm quite sure my local library (Earlsdon in Cov.) won't have it but i think i can order it for 50 p

[Nightshade]

I was just wondering how many of you has read books by him and what are your favoirate books and characters?

[Mark F.]

I've read the first seven or eight discworld novels and think they're hilarious, Hitchhiker's guide meets Tolkien. Favorite books; they're all good but I really liked the first two (Color of Magic & Light Fantastic) as well as Mort (in which DEATH is tired of his job). Favorite characters; Rincewind and DEATH who is probably the funniest character ever.

[Nightshade]

Yupp DEATH is my favouratie too but I also like Granny cant remember her last name!

[Mark F.]

in Equal Rites? Granny Fairfax I think. She's a crazy old lady for sure.

[mister_noel_y2k]

weatherwax, granny weatherwax.

[Nightshade]

Thats the one I knew it was a W


and shes in quite a few books actually

[Rachy]

I'm thinking of reading some Terry Pratchett books but I really have no idea what they are about!

[Nightshade]

They are just Randomness absalotly great.
Discworld is a world that is flat (like a disc) and sales through space and time to its destination ( the magicians cant decide what it will be) On the back Of a Great Turtule (that may be a he or a she) balance on 4 giant elephants ( they know this because they dangled people off the edge of the world to have alook!!

They just make you lagh for HOURS!
